What is Home Watch Accreditation and Why Does it Matter?
When you leave your home unattended for weeks or months at a time, you want the peace of mind knowing that it’s being watched over by trained professionals you can trust. That’s exactly where Home Watch Accreditation comes in.
Home Watch Accreditation is a professional designation that confirms a company has met strict standards set by the National Home Watch Association (NHWA). To become accredited, a home watch business must undergo a comprehensive vetting process that includes:
Proof of licensing, insurance, & bonding - protecting homeowners from liability & financial risk.
Background checks – ensuring you are hiring a trustworthy provider.
Commitment to continuing education – keeping up with industry best practices.
Adherence to the NHWA Code of Ethics – maintaining honesty, integrity, and professionalism.
Accreditation by the National Home Watch Association isn’t just a title—it’s a homeowner’s guarantee that the company watching over their property has been carefully verified and is committed to the highest level of service.
The National Home Watch Association is the only governing body in the industry that sets standards for training, ethics, and accountability. When you see that a home watch company is NHWA-accredited, you know they have gone above and beyond to prove their reliability and professionalism.
It is the mission and goal of the National Home Watch Association to establish and maintain the highest set of standards and ethics for all Home Watch companies in the United States of America and Canada;
To establish and maintain trust and confidence between homeowners and Home Watch professionals; To protect the public from uninsured, unbonded and unethical individuals who represent themselves as Home Watch professionals; To promote public awareness of the Home Watch Industry; And To ensure that only companies who represent the highest levels of professionalism are accredited as members of the National Home Watch Association.
