How we do home watch in Arbor Greene
Arbor Greene in New Tampa (Tampa, FL 33647): Gated community of 14 villages on Cross Creek Blvd in New Tampa, inside Tampa city limits, established by City of Tampa ordinance in 1996 and run by the Arbor Greene CDD, with a lakeside community center, two pools, eight clay tennis courts and a gatehouse staffed 24 hours a day. Plenty of Arbor Greene households are gone for a week or a month at a time, and a closed house in Florida still needs checking. We live a few streets over in Cross Creek, on the same side of the county line.
A home watch visit is a walk through the house with a checklist and a camera: doors and windows, the A/C running and the thermostat and humidity reading, the drain line, no water intrusion and no musty smell, no pests, the water heater and main valve, the electrical panel, faucets run and toilets flushed, the lanai and pool cage, mail and packages. The photo report is in your inbox the same day. We look, we report, and we call you if something is wrong. We are not home inspectors, and we do not guarantee the condition of the home.
The front gatehouse is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by attendants under contract with the CDD. Vehicles without a resident barcode use the visitor lane and are logged in; guests get a pass through the CDD's online visitor management system or from the attendant and must be listed on your account. List us on your account before the first visit, and tell us if your village is one of the six with an internal gate. Arbor Greene has both a CDD and an HOA, which means two sets of rules and two lines on the tax bill, and we follow both for parking and visitor policies. Single visits are $45/visit. Monthly plans are $150/mo for weekly visits or $85/mo for every other week, and both include the hurricane prep visit and the post-storm check.

Home Watch in Arbor Greene: questions we get
Do you do home watch inside Arbor Greene?
Yes. A scheduled walk-through with a same-day photo report: doors and windows, A/C running, water, lanai, mail and packages. Being on your gate account is the only setup, and we handle a post-storm check for monthly clients.
How much does home watch cost in Arbor Greene?
$45/visit per visit. Monthly plans are $150/mo for weekly visits or $85/mo for every other week, both with a same-day photo report each time and the hurricane prep visit and post-storm check included.
What do you check on a home watch visit in Arbor Greene?
Doors and windows, A/C and thermostat, drain line, water intrusion and odors, pests, water heater and main, electrical panel, faucets and toilets, lanai and pool cage, mail and packages, with photos of each. It is a visual walk-through and report, not an inspection.
What happens if you find something wrong?
We photograph it, we call you the same day, and if you want us to meet a contractor or the A/C company we do that as an errand visit. We do not make repairs and we do not decide anything about your house without you.
Do you check Arbor Greene homes after a hurricane?
Yes, when roads are open. The post-storm check is a walkthrough with photos, power and A/C status, a water-intrusion check and a debris report. It is included in monthly plans and available on its own. We do not enter during an evacuation order or the storm itself.
