Home Watch Resources
for Delaware Vacation Homeowners.

The blog covers practical topics for Delaware vacation homeowners and second-home owners: seasonal property care, storm preparation, what can go wrong in unoccupied homes, how to choose a home watch provider, insurance considerations for unoccupied properties, and local coastal Delaware property maintenance guidance. New articles are added regularly.

All blog content is written by Tom Pickard, owner and operator of Ibis Property Oversight, drawing on his 27+ years of experience as a coastal Delaware homeowner and property care professional. The content reflects real-world observations and practical advice — not generic information.

Yes. Several upcoming articles are specifically designed to help vacation and second-home owners understand the risks associated with unoccupied properties and evaluate whether professional home watch is right for their situation. Topics like what goes wrong in unoccupied homes and what to look for in a home watch company are written to genuinely help homeowners make informed decisions.
