Description of Work: Weekly condo check service. The technician performs a thorough home check of appliances, windows, etc while we are away. They also oversee home repairs and special services. The place is always set up and just waiting when we arrive. Very convenient.

See above ... We will continue to use this provider if we do not locate a better alternative. Charge is per month!
Description of Work: Walk through house once a week, take occasional photographs, ask if we want mail forwarded and forward with postage due, charge from 10-20 per hour for time beyond their regular walk through, stop at house ONLY on their regularly scheduled day.( e.g., inform us of first class mail and ask what to do with it, we then write back and say please forward, but that will not happen until following week on regular stop by day. I messed up and ordered three bedspreads sent to that house not knowing AVL UPS throws boxes in driveway ( we have a covered front porch so I assumed anything I ordered would left there ( like our home in another state ). Box say out in driveway with several rainy days : one OK, one stained , and one mailed back to Smaxon for which we were charged over $ 40,00. We do not have neighbors we know who might spot a box and toss on porch and we do not have contacts with individuals whoi might watch homes as a sideline to other jobs . Our result or suggested this company and we like the personnel. We will, however, seek more contacts this summer in hopes that we can find a more flexible and less expensive person to look after the house. We suspect our house (small fifties ranch ) is theistic eat house on their lust. The other homes described sounded like they were c 3-4 times the size of ours.

They send somebody around our house once a week to make sure everything is okay with our house. They also do home watch services for people who are on vacation. Their service is fairly priced. They are just a small company, but they do a lot of personal service.

Everything went extremely well. House was in great shape upon our return and despite the current drought situation, our plants looked good as well. We even received an email update on things while we were away that provided additional peace of mind.
Description of Work: Proxy provided a variety of services including hiring and supervising the cleaning of the home, removal of trash and the periodic watering of plants. During the period when we were away they also provided random inspections of the home to insure that nothing bad happened while we were on vacation.

Phil takes a great deal of interest in what he does. He is very knowledgeable. He treats your home as his own. He has overseen many large projects for us. Also, if there are any storms in the area he always goes out to check on the property. This is in addition to the weekly visit.
Description of Work: My wife and I hired Phil Murphy to look after our vacation home in the Asheville area. It is approximately $200 a month on an annual fee. There are sometimes other costs involved.

We purchased a home in the spring to serve as vacation home now and retirement home down the road. It's a big investment with some major upfront remodeling projects to coordinate. As we can only spend roughly half our time on site, we looked for someone who might serve as our own 'personal care taker'----someone to keep an eye on the property and manage it pro-actively in our absences. This covers everything from security to keeping the inside and outside appearance up. If a workman needs access to the property or if gutter cleaning needs to be arranged, this 'concierge service' fits the bill. Phil keeps us informed via email and photos of any events at the property plus forwards mail as necessary. The services offered represented a buffet limited only by our particular needs. The biggest benefit has been real peace of mind that our biggest investment is being managed as if we were on site, but without the time and effort that would be required. We couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: Home security and maintenance to include periodic inspection of the interior, lawn and exterior maintenance, mail and package collection plus the scheduling and coordination of repair work as required on a monthly basis.
