KEY HOLDINGS SERVICES

For Northern Michigan homeowners who want a trusted local contact available when access to your home is needed

For seasonal homeowners, second-home owners and frequent travelers, having a reliable key holder can make a difficult situation much easier.

If a contractor needs entry, a storm has passed through the area, an alarm notification needs follow-up or an issue requires local access, Daymark will provide a professional presence at the property when you cannot be there.

Our key holding service includes:

  • Secure storage of physical keys, access codes and property instructions

  • Providing access for pre-approved vendors or contractors

  • Meeting service providers on-site during scheduled appointments

  • Documenting visible conditions or completed work with photos and notes

  • Post-storm or concern-based property assessments

  • Basic troubleshooting support when appropriate, such as checking visible equipment, power status or WiFi/router condition

  • Securing the property after access is complete

  • Prompt and reliable communication with you after each visit

Daymark’s role is to be your trusted local presence on the ground — not a replacement for licensed contractors, emergency responders or specialized trades.

When a concern is discovered, we notify you promptly and can help coordinate access for the appropriate professional according to your instructions.

How Key Holding Works

Daymark Home Watch’s Key Holding service is offered as an annual subscription, with additional visits or on-site assistance billed at an hourly rate.

Your keys, access codes, emergency contacts and property information are handled with care and stored securely. Before service begins, we complete an onboarding process so we understand your home, preferred vendors, access instructions and communication preferences.

This service gives you a dependable local contact for situations such as:

  • Water leaks or signs of moisture

  • Storm and emergency issues

  • Alarm or smart-home notifications

  • Vendor access needs

  • Power, heat or internet concerns

  • Unexpected property issues while you are away

With Daymark, you have more than a spare key sitting with a neighbor. You have a professional, insured, bonded, accredited and accountable local contact for your Northern Michigan home.

Keeping year-round watch over your Northern Michigan home — even when you only need us on call.
