Trustworthiness
If I tell you I'll be at your home Tuesday, I'm at your home Tuesday. Simple as that.
Vail Valley · Eagle, Colorado
When you can't be at your mountain home, I am.
I'm Mark Fleecs — a retired Denver Police Commander who's spent the last eight years calling the Vail Valley home. I keep a careful eye on second homes from Gypsum to Vail, so the worst surprise you have on your next trip is a snowdrift in the driveway.
Home Watch — a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.

A note from Mark
“Handing someone the keys to your home is one of the most personal things you can do. I don't take that lightly. Thirty-one years as a police officer taught me that the small details — the ones most people walk past — are usually the ones that matter most.”

How I work
Six things I won't compromise on.
02
Communication
A photo report after every visit, and a real phone call the moment something needs your attention.
03
Confidentiality
Your address, your codes, your routines — they stay between us. Always.
04
Responsiveness
When a pipe is leaking at 2 a.m., you don't want voicemail. You'll get me.
05
Honesty
If I miss something, I'll tell you. If a vendor overcharges, I'll catch it. No spin.
06
Thoroughness
Thirty-one years of investigative habits don't switch off. The little things get noticed.
Accredited Member
Learn MoreNational Home Watch Association
Home watch is an unregulated industry — anyone can hang a sign. NHWA accreditation means background-checked, insured, bonded, and held to a code of ethics that's actually enforced. It's the standard I chose to be measured by.

A complete suite of home watch services for the Vail Valley.
Every visit, every report, every contractor meeting — it's me at your door. No subcontractors, no rotating crew. Backed by NHWA accreditation and a 31-year career built on doing things the right way.

Home Watch Checks
I walk every room, check the mechanicals, and look for the small things — a slow drip, a thermostat that drifted, a window left cracked. You get a time-stamped photo report before I leave the driveway.
Learn about home watch checksMaintenance & Vendor Oversight
I meet the plumber, wait for the appliance tech, and stay until the job's done right — so you're not coordinating contractors from a different time zone.

Your key is coded, never labeled with your address, and stored under lock. When a vendor needs in or a guest gets locked out, I'm fifteen minutes away.

I shut things down properly when you leave and warm the house back up before you land — heat on, water flowing, lights where you want them.

After every big snow, wind, or freeze, I'm out checking roofs, drains, and exteriors before small problems become expensive ones.

Frequently Asked
The questions I hear most.
If yours isn't here, call me — I'd rather answer it directly than guess what you need to know.
Think of it as a trusted set of eyes on your home while you're away. I walk through with a detailed checklist — interior, exterior, mechanicals, security — and look for anything out of place: a leak starting under a sink, a window left ajar, a thermostat that drifted overnight. You get a photo report after every visit. See the full list of home watch services.
A property manager runs rentals and tenants. A house-sitter sleeps in your bed. I'm neither — I'm a credentialed local who shows up on a schedule, documents what I find, and brings in vetted trades when something needs fixing. See the scope of what's covered and how it differs from NHWA-defined home watch. Your home stays your home.
Most of my clients land on weekly or bi-weekly visits while they're away, plus extras around storms, deliveries, or contractor work. Let's talk through what makes sense for your home and your peace of mind.
Doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, HVAC and thermostat, water heater, fridge and freezer, breaker panel, smoke and CO detectors, signs of leaks or pests, the exterior — plus anything specific you want me watching. Up here that often means heat tape, ice dams, and wildlife evidence around the foundation. The full inspection scope is built around your property.
You hear from me right away — phone call, photos, plain explanation of what I'm seeing. With your okay, I bring in one of my vetted local trades and stay on the job until it's resolved. That vendor coordination and emergency response is part of the standard service.
Yes. As an Accredited Member of the National Home Watch Association, I carry general liability and crime/fidelity insurance, and I'm bonded. Documents available on request.
Keys are coded — never labeled with your address — and stored under lock. Codes and alarm details are kept on a need-to-know basis. See how my keyholder services work end-to-end.
A digital report through HomeWatchIT after every visit — date- and time-stamped, GPS-verified, with photos and notes for each item on the checklist. You'll know exactly what I saw and when.
Pipes don't burst between nine and five. Call or text me directly, any time — 720-618-9788. That's the whole point of working with the owner.
Give me a call or send a note through the contact page. I'll come walk the property with you, listen to your concerns, and put together a visit schedule that fits. No cost, no pressure.
