Home watch and estate care · Rancho Santa Fe and coastal North County
Your home, watched
while you're away.
Scheduled visits inside and out, a photo report after every one, and a trusted local presence for everything an empty house still needs.
01The service
Weekly eyes on a home you're not living in.
An empty house does not tell anyone when something changes. A slow leak, a freezer that stopped, a gate left open, a sprinkler soaking a wall: small on day one, expensive by week six.
House Hawk visits your home on a schedule you choose, inside and out, from a checklist built for that house. You get a photo-documented report after every visit, and a call the moment something needs a decision.
It is a boutique service by design. One trusted local person who knows your home, not a call center.
02What you receive
A report, with photos, after every visit.
You see what was checked, what was clear, and anything that needs your attention. Nothing is repaired or arranged without your approval.

03Who watches your home
Britt Galland.
House Hawk is run by Britt Galland. His family has been in North County property management for three decades through Bravo Sierra, and that is the background he brings to homeowners who are away.
When you call, you reach Britt. When your home is visited, Britt is the one walking it. That is the whole idea.
