Cape Associates of Cape Cod joins the Association!





The National Home Watch Association would like to welcome Cape Associates of North Eastham as an Accredited Member. A custom builder on the Cape and Nantucket since the early 70's, they recently added a Home Watch division, based on the amount of homes there needing this type of service.
Cinnamon Swable was hand picked to run and facilitate their Home Watch division.  A member of the Cape Associates team for the past five years, she was previously in the landscape industry for over 18 years.  During that time, she cultivated a specialty gardening company.  Cinnamon earned a degree in Construction Technology from Wentworth Institute of Technology.  She and her son, Nemo, love spending time at their home in Eastham, MA.

A very cool thing about Cape Associates is that they build a unique playhouse every year, and raffle it off for a local charity. Go to http://www.capeassociates.com/A_Pages/playhouses.html to see past playhouses.

Cinnamon wants everyone to know that Cape Associates serves all of Cape Cod. They have two locations: the main office in North Eastham, and a second in Yarmouthport. She can reached by phone at (508) 255-1770 or cinnamon@capeassociates.com.

Welcome Cinnamon and Cape Associates. We are thrilled to call you Members.

The NHWA welcomes NJ Home Watch!



Keith Gunsten of NJ Home Watch

For those people who have a second home in the Long Beach Island area of the NJ shore, I have great news: Keith Gunsten and NJ Home Watch are on the job. For those not familiar with the area, Long Beach Island is a wonderful place. A barrier island situated off the NJ coast, it is 2 hours south of Manhattan, an hour east of Philadelphia, and a half hour north of Atlantic City. It is home to towns like Ship Bottom, Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Loveladies and Barnegat Light (Home of Ol' Barney: The lighthouse...not the purple dinosaur.)  It has great beaches to the east, and the Barnegat Bay to the west. LBI recently took a pretty big hit from Super Storm Sandy. So a lot of people were happy to have Keith watching their homes...and their back. Keith's resume is very impressive. A retired NJ State Trooper, he spent most of his years in the Marine Police division. When he retired, Keith became a licensed private detective and formed a security company. He added Home Watch to his business 7 years ago, when he and his wife of 32 years, Cathy, saw the need for a service in their area. Keith holds a US Coast Guard 100 ton Masters License and is a certified boating safety instructor. Extremely active in his community, Keith is the president of the local Rotary Club and sits on the board of the Southern Ocean Medical Center Foundation. He and Cathy are members of the Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce, where Cathy sits on the Executive Board. They have two children, and one (and a half!) grandchild. Please visit their website at NJHomeWatch.com. NJ Home Watch serves the Long Beach Island communities, as well as the rest of the Jersey Shore including Southern Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties.

Talk to you soon,

The new NHWA Website

Greetings and salutations!

The new NHWA website was officially launched this past Tuesday. It is much easier to navigate, and has a much cleaner and brighter look. We have improved the graphics, content and added a Members section. The new content explains in more detail to potential clients, why hiring an accredited NHWA Member is to their advantage. Our vetting process assures these clients that our Member companies have their best interests in mind at all times, by providing comprehensive insurance coverage, un-rivalled customer satisfaction and only the highest of ethics in their business dealings. You will also notice that we have our first Canadian Member. I will be blogging about Severn Cottage Services of Coldwater, Ontario in the next few days. I will also be blogging about NJ Home Watch, Mount Vernon Property Management, Florida Home Watch Professionals, and Home Watch ofVirginia Beach.  We've added the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico to our search area. We are currently in the process of contacting companies on those islands about membership. Look for big things from the NHWA in 2013!

Much success,

Jack
