Why Insurance Requirements Matter for Second-Home & Absentee Owners

If you own a second home or leave your property unoccupied for long periods, your insurance company likely has strict requirements. Many policies demand regular, documented property checks to reduce the risks of leaks, break-ins, storm damage, or system failures going unnoticed. Without proof that your home is being monitored, a claim could be delayed—or even denied. That’s why absentee owners rely on professional home-watch services: they provide the inspections, documentation, and peace of mind needed to stay fully protected and compliant.
