The two biggest investments people make in their lifetime are usually their house and their car. With the high number of seasonal residents in Southwest Florida, now is the time of year when one of those houses is left vacant and cars are shipped to follow their owners. That has given rise to two industries, home watchers and automotive shippers, that few need until they split time with a second home in Florida.
Thursday at 1:00 PM, Diane Pisani with Home Watch Professionals explains what you need to know about hiring someone to keep an eye on your abode, and what certification programs potential home watchers (and about insurers) need to know about.
Also joining the program is Jeannie Phillips, dispatcher with Young’s Transport Incorporated, to discuss the process of hiring someone to move your car, the difference between brokers and transporters, booking fees and deposits, and ways to make sure your car gets where you want it, when you want it.
