Greetings
and Salutations!
NJ Home Watch, of Manahawkin, NJ, has attained Accredited Member status for the second
consecutive year.
Owners Cathy and Keith Gunsten, along with their daughter, son, and daughter-in-law, make up the NJ Home Watch team. Long Beach Island (LBI) has long been a summer home and vacation area, where people go to enjoy the beaches, the Atlantic Ocean, the Barnegat Bay, and all the activities associated with the Jersey Shore.
Cathy
grew up on LBI and attended Ocean County College. She is a Board Member of the
Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce and an associate member of the Former
New Jersey State Troopers Association.
Keith
grew up in Lakewood and graduated from Paul Smith’s College in New York. He is a
retired New Jersey State Trooper and patrolled the same area and its waterways
for most of his career. He is President of the Southern Ocean Rotary Club, and
a member of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, the Southern Ocean
Medical Center’s Citizens Advisory Board, and the Former New Jersey State Troopers
Association.
Having
both grown up in Ocean County, they have a unique perspective of the area. When
Cathy was growing up on LBI, there were only about five families living on her
street year round—the rest of the homes sat vacant for nine months. The
permanent residents would keep an eye on the vacant homes, but from the outside
only. When the absentee homeowners returned in the spring, they never knew what
would greet them.
Cathy
and Keith come from a family of first responders. They know first-hand what can
happen when properties are left unoccupied. They realized there was a need for Home Watch services and started Seaspray Services about 10 years ago. The Home
Watch division was always difficult for people to understand, so about three
years ago they changed the name to NJ Home Watch. It has made a tremendous
difference in their business.
The Gunstens live in Manahawkin, which is right over the bridge from LBI. In They will celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary in May.
