Homewatch Concierge earns accreditation for 12th year

For the 12th year, Homewatch Concierge has earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association.

The association was formed in 2009 to establish and maintain the highest industry standards for home watch and absentee homeowner services throughout the United States and Canada. Homewatch is a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues, a service that keeps an eye on things at a vacation or primary home while owners are not in residence.

All principals of NHWA accredited member companies are background checked, insured and bonded.

Homewatch Concierge became an association member in 2012. With so many beach and vacation homes located in Rehoboth and surrounding beach areas, there are plenty of owners who need this service.

Co-owner Tjark Bateman joined Homewatch Concierge in April 2014, after 25 years of customer service experience working in his family business. He is also a Realtor in Rehoboth Beach. Bateman was born and raised in Sussex County.

Bateman is a founding board member of Community Bank Delaware. He supports local and national groups including Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and Museum, Rehoboth Art League, Children's Beach House and Jimmy V Foundation, to name a few. He is a past member of the Rehoboth Beach Planning Commission and the Delaware Environmental Appeals Board. He lives in Rehoboth Beach with his wife and daughter.

Co-owner JB Moore joined Homewatch Concierge in May 2016; he has nearly 20 years of hospitality experience. Prior to Homewatch Concierge, Moore served as a manager for several different local hotels. He serves on the board of directors for Coastal Properties, a hotel management company. Moore was born and raised in Rehoboth Beach, and he feels proud and lucky to live in such a beautiful beach community. He is a graduate of Elon University and resides in Rehoboth Beach with his wife and five children.

Both Moore and Bateman are licensed Delaware Realtors.
