IThe ProblemA vacant house is never just empty.
A vacant house is never just empty.
It is an invitation.
Encampments form in days. Dumping attracts more dumping. Liability compounds quietly. Proactive visits change the calculus — a watched property stops being an opportunity.
Unmonitored Lots
Encampments create safety and liability risks.
Illegal dumping attracts more trash and fines.
Unmonitored properties cost more in the long run.
Monitored by VacantWatch™
Routine visits deter encampments before they start.
We catch dumping early and help keep your lot clean.
Peace of mind knowing your property is protected.

"From the street, everything looked normal. The squatter was already inside."
VacantWatch began when founder Michael Clinton arrived at a vacant property expecting to quote a rehab — and found someone living inside. After removing the squatter, that same person came back later and set the house on fire. Ever since then, he made it his mission to change that.

Everything you need to know about our home watch services.
VIIClients
Trusted by property owners across the country.
"My place is far from where I live, so I can't get out there the way I'd like to. After losing a property, I know how fast things go wrong when no one's looking. Having someone actually drive out, walk it, and send me photos means I'm never guessing about what's happening anymore."
"Someone got into my home through a hidden entrance, and even after he was removed, he came back and damaged it horribly. If I'd had real people checking the property and catching what I couldn't see, it never would have happened. I tell everyone with a vacant home now — don't wait."
"VacantWatch gives me real peace of mind while I rebuild. I need to know my home is protected and someone has eyes on it — and that's exactly what they deliver."
"The communication platform and customer service are spot on. I know exactly who to call if I have a question, and they're on it immediately. No chasing, no guessing."
"This has saved me countless hours managing my property and tens of thousands in potential damage. For anyone with a vacant home on the West Side — don't wait."
"After losing my home in the Eaton Canyon fire, I was constantly worried about squatters taking over the property. I couldn't be there to monitor it myself, and the uncertainty was overwhelming. VacantWatch kept a close eye on it and gave me exactly the peace of mind I needed."
"I worried constantly about trespassers and what might happen while I was away. VacantWatch gave me immediate peace of mind — reliable monitoring and regular oversight when I couldn't be there myself."
"Their professionalism and responsiveness during such a difficult time made all the difference. If you have a second home, vacation property, rental, or any vacant property you can't regularly watch — I strongly recommend VacantWatch."
