Whitestone Home Watch is the regular check your second home deserves — GPS-stamped photo reports after every visit, so a dripping pipe or a dead AC is caught early, not discovered as a remodel when you return.
Most home damage in Arizona starts small and silent — a slow leak under a sink, an AC that quit in a 110° week, a pool pump that stopped. Our checklist is built to catch exactly those, and you see the proof in a GPS-stamped, time-stamped photo report after every visit.
No apps to learn, no dashboard to babysit. You get a report, and we handle the rest.
We tour your home with you (or by video), learn its systems, document shut-offs, and agree on your checklist and key handoff.
A trained checker walks the full checklist on a set route day — twice a month on Essential, weekly on Signature, twice a week on Estate Concierge — interior, exterior, pool, and systems, every time.
You receive a GPS- and time-stamped report with photos after every visit. All clear, or exactly what we found.
Anything wrong is flagged immediately — and with our repair coordination, it gets fixed at network pricing, not retail. See below.
Behind Whitestone is 15 years of hands-on remodeling work and a trusted bench of subcontractors who charge a fraction of retail contractor pricing. When something breaks, you don't get a problem in your inbox. You get a plan, in writing, at two prices.
An illustrative year of typical repairs for one watched home:
Against roughly $643 in coordination fees on that work, the homeowner comes out about $2,772 ahead — before counting what the watch plan itself prevented. Example is illustrative; every job is quoted in writing before work begins.
Whitestone Home Watch grew out of a family real estate business that has served Arizona for three generations. For the last 15 years, since owner Nick White got his real estate license, that business has also helped clients with remodels. Nick has since built a portfolio of fix and flips of his own, and the relationships that came with them: quality trades in every category, priced fairly, with workmanship better than most.
Ask Nick why Whitestone exists and he'll tell you about the other stories. Homeowners taken advantage of on repair estimates, quoted double for half the work, with no way to know better. It frustrated him enough to build the fix into this business: when something in your home needs repair, Whitestone coordinates it through those same trusted trades, so you save money, time, and stress instead of becoming someone's story.
The real estate business has never spent a dime on marketing. It's all word of mouth, earned by giving every client complete focus and attention, and by going above and beyond during and after the transaction. Whitestone runs on the same fuel.
We'd rather earn the referral than buy the ad.
Most services watch, report, and stop there — then charge by the hour for everything after. Whitestone is built to finish the job.
Pick the cadence that fits your home — two visits a month on Essential, weekly on Signature, twice a week on Estate Concierge — because in the desert, a small problem doesn't stay small for long. Every price is published in full, right here.
Seasonal by design: full watch while you're away, Resident Care while you're home. Never pay for watch visits you don't need.
What the pieces cost elsewhere in the Valley: watching alone runs $249–$399 a month, storm checks are $25–$79 per visit, and vendor supervision bills at $60–$79 an hour. Every Whitestone plan includes all three.
One undetected leak can cost more than years of service.
No enrollment fee on any plan. Repair coordination is a flat 12% of the job, $95 minimum, with no hourly supervision charges. Not sure which plan fits your home? Call 602.935.6918 — we'll size it to the house on the walkthrough, not on a sales call.

The things second-home owners ask us first — answered the same way we'd answer on the walkthrough.
Twice a month on Essential, weekly on Signature. Estate Concierge checks twice a week. Resident Care, for full-time residents at $179/mo, is a monthly full inspection with a GPS-stamped photo report, plus storm checks, key holding, and priority repair coordination. Every plan also includes storm checks during monsoon season. In the desert, a week is how long a small problem stays small.
A photo report the same day, stamped with GPS location and time, covering the full checklist — water and leaks, AC, pool and spa, security, interior health, and exterior. Either it's all clear, or you see exactly what we found, in pictures.
We document it with photos and video, tell you plainly how urgent it is, and quote it two ways: the typical retail contractor price and our network price, in writing, before any work starts. For larger jobs you contract the licensed subcontractor directly at the negotiated price, and we coordinate the work — scoping, scheduling, access, and verifying the finish — for a flat 12% coordination fee, $95 minimum, with no hourly supervision charges.
No — Whitestone Home Watch is a watch and coordination service, built on 15 years of hands-on remodeling experience. Work above the handyman threshold is performed by licensed subcontractors that you hire directly; we make sure it's scoped right, priced right, and finished right.
Your plan flexes with your calendar. While you're in residence, drop to Resident Care at $179 a month: your keys stay held, you keep priority repair coordination, and you still get a monthly inspection with a photo report. Prefer to pause instead? Pausing is free, your account and route slot stay open, and one text turns your full plan back on when you leave. Plans run a minimum of three consecutive active months, billed on the first of each active month with no mid-month proration, and our $149 Arrival Prep gets the house ready before you return. Prepay your whole away-season upfront and save 10%.
One call to 602.935.6918. There is no enrollment fee on any plan. We schedule a walkthrough — together in person or by video — learn your home's systems and shut-offs, agree on your checklist, and handle the key handoff. Then your home is on its plan's route schedule.
Most Valley home watch companies charge $249–$399 a month for weekly watching alone. Storm checks are typically an extra $25–$79 per visit, and supervising a vendor at your home usually bills at $60–$79 an hour. Whitestone publishes its prices, includes storm checks in every plan, and coordinates repairs through our own trade network for a flat 12% coordination fee ($95 minimum) instead of an hourly supervision charge — you approve every quote before work begins.
Tell us when you're leaving and we'll schedule the walkthrough. No online booking, no forms into the void — you talk to us directly.
