Greater Nashville Home Watch

Accreditation

The first accredited Home Watch company in Middle Tennessee.

Accreditation is more than a logo on a website. It's a verifiable standard of professionalism, ethics, and care that homeowners can rely on.

A first for the region

Greater Nashville Home Watch is proud to be the first accredited Home Watch company in the Middle Tennessee & Greater Nashville area. Accreditation through the National Home Watch Association (NHWA) sets us apart from informal services and well-intentioned neighbors — and gives our clients a clear, third-party standard to measure us against.

On top of our NHWA accreditation, owner Theodora Paddock holds active REALTOR® membership through the National Association of REALTORS® and the Eastern Middle Tennessee Association of REALTORS® — keeping the company grounded in 14+ years of local real estate expertise.

Accreditation — FAQ

Accreditation through the NHWA means we have met the association's standards for business practices, insurance, bonding, ethics, and reporting — and that we agree to operate by them.
