About Safe Nest Home Watch
Trusted local care for your Florida home when you cannot be there.
Safe Nest Home Watch is a family-owned, Lakewood Ranch-based company serving seasonal residents and homeowners throughout Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota. Marni and Robert Naumann provide professional Home Watch inspections, detailed photo reports, Concierge support, key holding, and practical coordination for homes whose owners are away.
Our role is simple: to be your trusted local eyes and ears, identify concerns early, and help coordinate the right response when something needs attention.
What Safe Nest Does
We perform scheduled visual inspections of unoccupied homes, reviewing key interior and exterior areas for visible signs of water leaks, HVAC failures, electrical issues, storm damage, pests, pool or landscaping concerns, and other changes that may require attention.
After every visit, clients receive a detailed report with time, date, and location stamps, photographs, and written descriptions. When we find a concern, we communicate promptly and can help provide access or coordinate with the homeowner's preferred contractor or service provider.
We also offer property-focused Concierge and Home Management support, including vendor and contractor access, deliveries, mail forwarding, key holding, arrival and departure preparation, and project progress checks.
Meet Marni and Robert Naumann
Years spent traveling professionally while maintaining homes of their own gave Marni and Robert a personal understanding of what homeowners need while they are away: reliable communication, careful oversight, and someone local who will take responsibility when a concern arises. They founded Safe Nest Home Watch in 2020 to provide that support for other Florida homeowners.
Marni Naumann began her career in hotel sales while earning her degree in Communications. She later coordinated hotel, travel, and living accommodations for global touring productions. Her attention to detail, organization, and communication skills help ensure that every home and client receives thoughtful, consistent care.
Robert Naumann brings more than 30 years of experience leading complex live-entertainment operations. His responsibilities included oversight of facilities, site construction, HVAC, plumbing, health and safety, vendors, and large teams. That background supports practical problem-solving, clear communication, and calm coordination when an issue is found at a client's home.

How Our Service Works
More than six years and thousands of home inspections have taught us that every home is unique—and every homeowner has specific priorities. We begin with an in-home meeting and consultation to learn about your property, schedule, access, preferred contacts, and the details that matter most to you.
In-home consultation and customized setup. Together, we establish the inspection schedule, access plan, reporting preferences, and property-specific checklist.
Scheduled inspections. We inspect the agreed interior and exterior areas while you are away.
Documented reporting. You receive a detailed photo report following each visit.
Communication and coordination. If something needs attention, we notify you promptly and help coordinate the next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often can you inspect my home? Weekly and biweekly schedules are available depending on the property, season, and homeowner's needs.
What happens if you find a problem? We first make sure the area is safe, stop or contain the problem when possible, and make a practical fix if we can. For example, we may shut off the water during a leak or turn off the appropriate breaker when an electrical concern is found. We then document the issue with photographs and detailed notes, contact you promptly, and coordinate the appropriate next step with you or your preferred vendor.
Can I use Concierge Services without regular Home Watch inspections? Yes. Concierge, Key Holder, and property-support services can be arranged based on the specific help you need.
