For the third year, 904 Home Watch has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association for its home watch services.
The NHWA was formed in 2009 in order to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for home watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada.
Home watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues, which means that it is a service that “keeps an eye on things” at your vacation or primary home while you are not in residence.
All principals of association accredited member companies are background-checked, insured, and bonded.
904 Home Watch started under the guidance of owner Bob Straub who earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Following graduation, he entered a career in the retail business. It was there that he built his foundation for understanding the value of customer service and delivering on a promise.
Over the last two decades, Straub has worked in the real estate industry in a variety of roles, primarily in the general brokerage and new home construction arenas.
As he transitioned into general brokerage in 2000, he took the significance of customer service and the power of promise with him.
He built his business in Baltimore, Maryland, using customer service and promise as cornerstones, and in 2002, familial changes had Straub and his family relocating to Charlotte, North Carolina.
He worked for a national builder, first in sales, and then continued his evolution on the operations side by becoming a project manager, overseeing sales, marketing, construction, warranty, and accounting for a single community.
In 2012, Straub’s family moved to Northeast Florida, and he continued working with the Charlotte division of a large builder, as a consultant following the acquisition of another builder's land position.
He continues to be excited to bring his experience and knowledge to the home watch industry.
904 Home Watch serves St. Johns County, Duval County, Nocatee, Sawgrass Country Club, Marsh Landing Country Club, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, and Ponte Vedra.
You can reach Straub at 904-654-9951 or by emailing 904homewatch@gmail.com, and more info can be found about the business by going to www.904homewatchllc.com.
