Thanks for the support National Home Watch Association! We are excited to get to work.

York Harbor Home Watch of York, Maine, has earned accreditation from the NHWA.

Todd and Beth Doehner are native New Englanders who settled in York in 2019. Todd is a college professor with master’s degrees in English and Education. He also has a maritime background, including a 100-ton master’s license from the U.S. Coast Guard. In the past, Todd worked in the boat building and sail-making industries and lived as a caretaker in the Florida Keys. Todd has always had a keen interest in figuring out how things work and spending his spare time honing his home improvement skills with a variety of projects, from plumbing to deck building and everything in between.

Beth works in sustainability for a global manufacturer, though most of her career has been in business-to-business sales and marketing. Her education includes an undergraduate degree in Art History and a master’s degree in Hospitality Management. The business acumen and commitment to customer experience Beth has mastered over the past 25 years brings an empathetic perspective to the distinct circumstances of each client.

Todd and Beth’s interest in Home Watching stems from owning vacation homes themselves. For over 10 years, they’ve had an island property on Lake Winnipesaukee that is inaccessible during the winter. Owning this home has given them first-hand knowledge of the anxiety that comes with being away from your home, as well as unique insight into what can happen when a house is left unoccupied for an extended time.

Both Todd and Beth are graduates of the NHWA’s Home Watch Boot Camp and have earned the designation of Certified Home Watch Professional, which places them among the elite Home Watch providers in the industry. The CHWP designation and Boot Camp training exemplify York Harbor Home Watch’s commitment to Home Watch excellence.
When not working, Todd and Beth enjoy spending as much time on the water as possible in their boats. Their labs, Mabel and Weezy, often come along for the ride. In winter, Beth does various craft projects and Todd restores antique motors and aluminum boats.

York Harbor Home Watch serves Cape Neddick, Eliot, Kittery/Kittery Point, Ogunquit, and York. You can reach them at (207) 200-8007 or at [email protected]. Learn more from their website, https://www.yorkharborhomewatch.com.

Welcome, Todd and Beth!

As always, I wish you
Much success,
Jack
