Real Estate Tip:
As with every home, a second home requires maintenance and upkeep to keep it in good condition. The problem is that second homes are often hundreds of miles away from you, thus, making sure the property is kept in good repair is inherently difficult. You have enough responsibility at your current house; the last thing you need is another set of headaches and hassles many miles away from you. So, how do you maintain your additional home(s) without the work and aggravation?? Luckily, there are some easy things you can do: have the proper home security system and look into hiring a concierge service.
What You Need
Security systems have become a standard component of many household in the United States. They offer you the ability to relax with the knowledge that despite being miles away, there is someone close by to your second home who will alert authorities to a break in, fire, gas leak, or other undesirable occurrences that can be unfortunate consequences to owning a home. By wiring your place with a security you set your house up to protect itself. There are many different companies that offer this service and several different types of systems out there. Start by evaluating the needs of your second home and the corresponding the level of protection required.
What They Can Do
There are plenty things that cannot be detected and/or fixed by a security system. A leaky pipe that drips through your floors ruining the homes structural integrity, an unkempt lawn that grows to be a nuisance and violates city code, or a window needing to be replaced after a storm, can?t be done by your home security system. For many second homeowners, the answer to these problems is in a concierge service. They?re able to do everything you do for your primary residence, but can?t do for your second home. This includes general maintenance, such as yard work and taking care of leaky faucets, and more specialized services, like taking delivery of furniture, mounting your new flat screen TV, and waiting for the cable guy. A concierge service is like giving your second home it?s own assistant that does all the things you?d like to do, but can?t due to geographic and time restrictions.
Keep Stress Down
Your second home acts as a respite from the daily grind. The last thing you want is for your additional residence to be the source of stress or anxiety. That being said, you can?t leave and forget about the needs of your second home once your vacation is over. There?s a long list of bad things that can happen or good things you?d like to have happen to your place that you can?t do on your own. It?s crucial that you develop a plan to deal with issues that may arise for both your second home?s well-being. Most importantly, you need a security system and some type of concierge service to keep your second home in tip-top shape with the least amount of work and worry on your part.
