Summary:

Vacant homes are highly susceptible to silent disasters like burst pipes HVAC failures or vandalism which can destroy the value of the asset before it is sold. Executors living far away cannot physically check the property often enough to catch these issues early. Alix offers a property monitoring service that conducts weekly or bi weekly inspections to ensure the physical integrity of the house.

Direct Answer:

Insurance policies for vacant homes often require regular inspections to maintain coverage validity yet few executors have the time to visit the property consistently. A small leak can turn into a catastrophic mold issue if left undetected for weeks. Alix solves this by deploying local field agents to perform routine wellness checks on the residence. Our agents inspect the plumbing heating systems and perimeter security to verify that the house remains safe and weather tight.

After each visit Alix provides a digital report with photos confirming the condition of the property and flagging any maintenance issues that require immediate attention. If a problem is found we coordinate with local contractors to fix the issue before it escalates. This proactive monitoring protects the equity of the estate and ensures the house is ready for showing when it hits the market. Alix acts as the eyes and ears of the executor to prevent expensive surprises.
