Safeguard Your Property.

“My mother, who lived to the age of 104, dreaded ending up in a nursing home or a hospital. During her final years, Richard Kelly was a constant presence in her life; his assistance and support allowed her to remain in her beloved home as she had hoped. 

Richard was competent, efficient, and trustworthy when arranging for professional services and repairs around my mother’s house, and he was always remarkably caring, patient, and thoughtful in his face-to-face dealings with my mother. She looked forward to his visits, regarded him as a friend, and knew if there were an emergency or a crisis, she could depend on Richard to help her deal with it.

If you are looking for a home and property concierge, especially one sensitive to the needs of the elderly, I would highly recommend Richard Kelly.”

“Recently, our family left for a lengthy overseas vacation, and we needed a house sitter. We did not want our house to look vacant while we were gone, mainly because of the number of cars regularly broken into in Arlington. Just having one light on a timer was not adequate. Property Patrols was the solution to our problem!

They routinely visited our home, inspecting the exterior for signs of attempted break-ins or any damages after a storm. We left them a set of keys, and they moved our cars so that it seemed someone was staying at our place. They put our mail in our home so it didn't accumulate.

Property Patrols coordinated getting our lawn mowed and worked with us to schedule minor - but extremely overdue - repair jobs! When we returned home, our shed door and broken deck planks were perfectly and affordably fixed!

Property Patrols is easy to work with, communicative, never pushy, and always thinking about our best interests. We enjoyed peace of mind knowing that our home was safe...and checking things off my very long to-do list! I will use Property Patrols again next time we go on vacation!”

“We are a military family and own a home in Arlington that we turned into a long-term rental after PCSing overseas.

We self-managed the property but needed expertise and local knowledge to select contractors and manage access to the property.

Richard Kelly of Property Patrols recommended multiple reliable contractors, monitored the property's condition, conducted walk-throughs, and provided tenant and neighborhood assessments. Property Patrols enabled us as small-scale landlords to securely self-manage the property while providing peace of mind.”

My yard needed an overhaul and Property Patrol found a reliable and affordable company to deliver sod, assisted in negotiating the install, and was onsite.

Richard followed up numerous times to check on the health of the new lawn and offer maintenance suggestions.

Thank you, Richard and Property Patrol—we will continue to use their expertise as needs arise!

After years in condos and townhomes, we purchased a large home in Northern Virginia that needed upgrades and landscaping. My wife and I were about to have our third child, and the list of home projects was intimidating.

We tried to undertake an initial project alone and got scammed. We decided we needed help and called Property Patrols. We knew we had made the right call from the first moment we spoke with Richard.

He advised us on how to remedy the shady agreement, and we ultimately got a full refund thanks to his guidance. Afterward, he helped alleviate the stress of the remainder of our projects by coordinating contractors and overseeing the work.

I highly recommend Richard and Property Patrols!
