Why Janssen

More than a checklist.
A trusted local partner.

Your vacation home is one of your most significant investments. We treat it that way — with thoroughness, accountability, and genuine care.

I

Photo-documented reports after every visit

You receive a complete written and photographic record of each inspection — timestamped, clear, and delivered directly to you.

II

Vetted vendor relationships

If something needs attention, we coordinate with trusted local contractors so problems are resolved — not just noted.

III

Insurance-compliant documentation

Our reports meet the documentation standards many insurance carriers require for unoccupied homes — protecting both your property and your coverage.

IV

Storm prep and post-storm response

Before a storm hits and after it passes, we are on site. You will not find out about damage from hundreds of miles away.

What We Do

Comprehensive protection
for your property

Whether you are away two weeks or six months, we are your eyes and hands on the ground.

Hurricane Season

When the storm comes,
we are already there.

Southwest Florida gets hit. Absentee homeowners are the most vulnerable — often learning about damage weeks later, from a neighbor's photo. We change that equation entirely.

Client Reviews

Trusted across
Southwest Florida

What our clients say about the peace of mind Janssen Home Watch provides.

Our experience with Janssen Home Watch has been excellent — in stark contrast with the home watch service we had in the past. Josh and his team are timely, professional, thorough, communicative, and friendly. They provide a comprehensive overview of our condo's condition after each visit, complete with pictures, a detailed report, and humidity readings. With Josh and his team, my wife and I feel as if a family member is taking care of our place when we are away. We recommend it highly without reservation.

About Josh

Meet the person
behind the service

My name is Josh Janssen. I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin and graduated from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota with a double major in Finance and Business Intelligence & Analytics. During my four years there I competed on the men's tennis team and served as team captain for two years — all while completing multiple internships in hedge funds, private equity, and mutual funds.

"Giving my clients one less thing to worry about in their day-to-day lives is always rewarding."

Living in Southwest Florida, I witnessed firsthand the devastation hurricanes cause — and the helplessness felt by absentee homeowners who had no one looking out for their property. That experience led directly to the creation of Janssen Home Watch. Not as a side project, but as a serious, professional service built on accountability and genuine care.

Outside of work I stay active on the tennis court, spend time with friends and family, and am an active member of Ocean Church here in Southwest Florida. That same sense of community and responsibility carries into how I look after every home in my care.

As Defined by the NHWA
"A visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues."
