Family startup earns accreditation
HAWI — Kohala Coast Peace of Mind has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association. The NHWA was formed in 2009 in order to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for home watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada.
Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues, which means that it is a service that keeps an eye on your vacation or primary home while you are not in residence.
Mother-and-daughter team Marcy Davis and Courtney Jessop worked together at a management company on the Big Island and now opened their own Home Watch business.
