They say that it takes all kinds. One thing that I have learned from running this association is that the diversity of Home Watch business owners is astounding. For those of you who remember the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", you'll recall all of those people who didn't know each other, but kept drawing the same picture of Devil's Tower, or even sculpting it out of mashed potatoes. They didn't know each other, and had no idea what was making them think about it, yet they all wound up in the same place. I know: quite the analogy. Well....
I was contacted a few months back by Lynne and Ron Yurgo of Rochester, Michigan. Lynne held a seat on the Chicago Options Board. and spent 27 years in finance after attending Ohio State University. She raised 3 daughters, and bred golden retrievers on the side. Ron attended the Walsh Business School, had been in real estate for years, and owned a very successful driving school in Michigan. After a chance meeting while playing "pickle ball", they fell in love and got married (on 12/12/12). As a favor to some friends, Ron and Lynne agreed to look after their homes while they were away for a few months. More friends started to ask the same favor, and before long Lynne and Ron realized that they had a business on their hands. So after a long phone conversation, they purchased a guide from the NHWA, and started working on their plan. They hit the very same road block that many other Home Watch companies do: securing insurance. After a little help from us (Thanks Stacey!), they were able to get a good policy, and finalize the details of starting Home Watch Services, LLC of Rochester, MI. Ron and Lynne are drawing on their unique backgrounds to give excellent customer service and peace of mind to their clients. Because of Michigan's climate, they have a lot of snowbirds that wing their way south during the winter. Home Watch Services cares for these people's homes and advocates for the owners in their absence.
Lynne and Ron are very active in local charities. Lynne has a charity that feeds needy families and children. They both work with Leader Dogs for the Blind. Home Watch Services, LLC serves Rochester, MI. Please visit their website at HomeWatchServicesLLC.com. Best of luck Lynne and Ron. I wish you
Much success.
Jack
