Coastal Concierge Home Watch, at 275 Post Road East in Westport, received accreditation from the National Home Watch Association, an organization aimed at maintaining high standards and raising awareness of the industry.

A home watch agency keeps an eye on a home while the owner is away. Agency representatives visit the home and check for signs of damage, break-ins and other issues. Coastal Concierge provides detailed inspection reports with photographs and recommendations, the company website says. The company responds to emergencies at any time, and brings local expertise in the challenges local properties face, including seasonal issues, according to the website.

Coastal Concierge offers a premium service that “encompass scheduled upkeep, seasonal preparations, vendor coordination, and lifestyle support like grocery delivery or appointment scheduling,” the website says.

Coastal Concierge Home Wach’s founder is Brian McGunagle. He also founded Westport Pride, which aims to foster an inclusive and affirming environment for the LGBTQ+ community in Westport.
