Our mission

Protecting What Matters Most

Home Presence Services was founded on a simple belief: your home should never be left unrepresented. Whether you're a seasonal resident, a remote investor, or simply too far away to attend a service appointment, we show up so you don't have to — with the same care and attention you would bring yourself.

Integrity First

We treat every property as if it were our own. No shortcuts, no surprises — just honest, thorough representation on your behalf.

Meticulous Documentation

Every visit is fully documented with timestamped photos, detailed notes, and a written report delivered to you within 24 hours.

Proactive Communication

We don't wait for you to ask. If something looks off, we flag it immediately and keep you informed at every step.

Vetted Professionals Only

Every representative on our team passes a thorough background check, holds required licenses, and carries full liability insurance.

Founder's story

Built From Personal Experience

Our founder, Michael Hargrove, spent years as a property manager in Naples, FL — watching out-of-state homeowners lose thousands of dollars because no one was there to oversee contractors, catch shoddy work, or simply confirm a technician actually showed up. In 2019, he launched Home Presence Services to solve that problem directly. Today, HPS serves hundreds of homeowners across Southwest Florida with a team of licensed, insured, and background-checked representatives.
