Our Story

---

Welcome to She Shore Home Watch! We are Gary & Kelly Probst and reside in Fernandina Beach, FL just off Amelia Island.  We are a husband and wife team, dedicated to providing exceptional home watch services for our clients.  We understand that trust is imperative when hiring a company to oversee your property in your absence, and our reviews and references speak for themselves.  We are a fully insured company with no other employees and a registered business in the state of Florida.  

On a personal note, we have been married 34 years, have a 13 year old daughter, and love calling this small town home.  We couldn't have picked a better spot!  We are both North Carolina natives but have been Florida residents since 2001 and have resided in Fernandina Beach since 2015.

She Shore Home Watch was not a business we planned to open or even thought of before. She Shore Home Watch was born from our sister company, She Shore Painting Company, in 2017.   In the process of painting client's homes, we were asked numerous times if we would be willing to check on their second homes when they were away, if we could meet with other contractors for repairs and renovations on their behalf, if we could assist them in finding quality contractors, etc.  After meeting with us and getting to know us better while working on their painting project, they knew quickly we were trustworthy, always showed up on time, always followed through, and could count on us to do an exceptional job in everything we do. Our clients understand we focus on the details. It's who we are as people, and the details always matter. Given our backgrounds in renovation and remodeling, my 10+ years in the real estate industry and Gary's 20+ years in sales and management, the home watch business was a natural fit for us.  While we no longer paint, She Shore Painting Company presented us with opportunities that we are continuously grateful for.  In 2020, we launched another business, Beacon Home Inspections of NE Florida www.inspectionsbybeacon.com, further enhancing our expertise in providing exceptional home watch services to our clients.  In August 2024, She Shore Home Watch acquired another local home watch business, making us one of northeast Florida's largest home watch companies.

So, you ask, what does She Shore Home Watch actually do? Essentially we are an extra set of eyes and ears to ensure our clients' homes are taken care of when they are away.  She Shore Home Watch's services include: checking all the home systems to make sure there are no issues, picking up mail, picking up packages, meeting with contractors as needed, coordinating repairs if needed with our preferred contractors, checking the exterior of the house, checking the landscaping, providing storm preparation and after storm checks as needed, and making sure the home is secure in the owner's absence. These are just some of the services we perform on a weekly or bi-monthly basis. We report directly to our clients after each home check. Additional services and concierge can also be provided as needed for our clients.

We would love to meet with you to talk further about our services. Each plan is tailored to suit each client's needs.  We can be reached at 904-557-5757 or 904-557-5756 call/ text, by email at sheshorehomewatch@gmail.com, or you can message us here on our website.  You can also message us via  She Shore Home Watch's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sheshorehomewatch072290/ or our Instagram page at www.instagram.com/sheshorehomewatch .
