Coast Home Watch, of La Jolla, CA, gains second-year accreditation by the NHWA!

Jack Luber, Executive Director

Greetings and Salutations!

Coast Home Watch, of La Jolla, CA, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA for the second consecutive year. 

Owner Mary Ellen Morgan’s family has been in the San Diego area since 1906. She has worked in the real estate community since 1986.

In 2011, a client who owns many homes throughout the country, came to Mary Ellen with a request to operate a Home Watch company. Until that time, she had no awareness of the Home Watch industry, even though she had sold homes to many absentee homeowners. Occasionally she would check those clients’ homes as a courtesy, and she was intrigued by the concept of operating a full-service Home Watch business, with a systematic program to check homes for absentee homeowners. Mary Ellen spent about a year researching what was involved in a full-time operation of a Home Watch business, checking to verify whether there was a service already in place within the San Diego community and questioning select Realtor associates as to the viability of offering a Home Watch service. She was very impressed with the enthusiasm of those Realtors, which she attributes to her long-time relationships with the real estate community as an ethical Realtor, whom her associates can trust to handle the tasks involved to monitor the homes of their absentee clients and the knowledge that will not interrupt the real estate relationships with their clients.

Mary Ellen is a member of the following organizations: La Jolla Parks and Beaches Committee; Children’s Pool Beautification Committee; REBA-La Jolla Brokers Association; San Diego Board of Realtors; San Diego Native Plant Society; and the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America.

After 20+ years planning and executing multi-million-dollar projects for a Fortune 500 company, CEO Rusty McRight and his family moved to Steamboat Springs a few years ago.

Rusty is a former rental property owner who understands the time and energy it takes to maintain property. Second homeowners experience an assortment of challenges, and it is for this reason that Rusty decided to open Clear Choice Property Care. Rusty holds a leadership position within the community and is actively involved in his local church and its youth organization.

Life Made Easy Home Watch, of Cape Coral, FL, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA for the third consecutive year

Jack Luber, Executive Director

Greetings and salutations!

Life Made Easy Home Watch, of Cape Coral, FL, has gained Accredited Member status in the NHWA for the third consecutive year.

Owners Jerry and Cindy McKay moved to Cape Coral 13 years ago from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where they owned rental property, rehabbed properties, and also both worked outside their business. Jerry worked for an appliance business for over 34 years, the last 26 of which were as a manager. Cindy worked for the Oshkosh Area School District in various secretarial positions.

After moving to Florida, Jerry became employed by the City of Cape Coral as a Groundskeeper II at its golf course, and Cindy became employed as an executive assistant to the CEO of a large healthcare facility.

Over the years, neighbors and friends would ask them to watch over their homes while they traveled. When Cindy returned to college to obtain her Bachelor’s degree, she had to write a business plan, which is how Life Made Easy Home Watch was born. After doing the research on Home Watch, and knowing their own personal strengths with property management, it just made sense to them that it would help out many residents—especially the snowbirds—in the community. They have now been in business for more than three years.

Both Jerry and Cindy are involved in the Fraternal Order of the Eagles, the Fraternal Order of Elks, the Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce, and the Cape Coral Association of Realtors. They also are involved with various charities, and especially with Hope Hospice. Jerry and Cindy have been married for more than 25 years and have two children and five adorable grandchildren.
