THE GOOD LIFE HOME WATCH LLC
MARCO ISLAND, FLORIDA

Seasonal Residents are starting to learn that home watch is a vital service. Some insurance companies require it before they write a policy. A damage claim may be denied if the homeowner left for an extended time and did not engage the services of a home watch provider. Each season keys are given to Neighbors Doing Favors and Hobby Home Watchers who have no qualification other than living in their own home. Homeowners are not even sure what is supposed to be done on a visit; they just assume that this provider knows what they are doing. Often, this is not the case. Often, expensive and avoidable, damage occurs. An entrepreneur, and business owner, since 1986, Diane Pisani launched her first home watch company, with a business partner, in 2006.

In 2008, when their book of business was filled and Diane started calling local home watch companies intent on finding some to refer overflow clients to, she found it almost impossible to locate a professional company that she could feel comfortable referring. She started to hear lots of stories. Some were of providers who waited until right before the client returned and then made a visit. Others ranged from providers who actually moved into, or rented out, a client’s home in their absence to tales of a home watch person who made visits but did not recognize, or detect, damage that turned into a total disaster. The stories are endless and some are downright jaw-dropping. Her tales from with the intention of doing her part to establish best practices and bring a high level of professionalism to the industry.

That career spanned over 17 years. She moved to Southwest Florida in 2003 and worked at a wellness company, the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort, as well as a brief time at a home watch company followed by managing the property services division at a rental agency before entering the wonderful, wacky, world of Home Watch. She is usually calm, and even a bit reserved until she hears a story about a seasonal resident being taken advantage of or a business that misrepresents their services. Diane makes every decision with the seasonal resident in mind. This fuels her passion for expanding the home watch industry in a responsible fashion.
