Jack Luber, Executive Director |
Owners Randy and Sandy Martin are located in the heart of
Ontario’s cottage country in Severn Falls, Ontario. Randy started Cottage Watch
in 1990. After spending 10 years in the oil fields, he decided to come home for
a year. Having grown up in cottage country, he knew most of the weekend
cottagers from the city. When they found out he was home, the cottagers
started asking him to look after their properties while they were away for the
winter. In those days, there were very few companies providing a service like
this--and virtually no information--so it has been a learning curve ever since. Randy returned to the
oil fields overseas but continued with the cottage watch on a smaller scale.
In 2011 Sandy, Randy and their three children decided to expand on
their cottage services to a full-scale business, including Cottage & Home
Watch Property Patrols, Cottage Rental Services and Cottage & Home
Cleaning. The area they cover is very distinctive, as some of their customers’
properties have no roads, which can create its challenges; access is by boat or
ATV in the summer and snowmobile or air boat in the winter. What makes their patrol services unique is the development of their
advanced electronic reporting system that proves to their customers that they
have actually been to their property and gives them the peace of mind they
deserve! The reporting system is generated on site, notifies the customer by
e-mail when the patrol report is submitted, automatically records date, time and
GPS position of the inspector, uploads pictures to the reports at any time
during the patrol, and allows 24/7 customer access to their reports via the
Internet.
Severn Cottage Services covers a vast area: from the Severn River between Big
Chute & Swift Rapids, Gloucester Pool, Six Mile Lake, the Honey Harbour area,
Midland, over to Horseshoe Valley up to Orillia and along Lake Simcoe. Whew!
You can reach Randy and Sandy at (705) 686-7290 or
toll-free at (855) 686-7290. They can be found on the Web at www.severncottageservices.ca.
Congratulations, Randy and Sandy!
As always, I wish you
Much Success,
Jack
