Mountain Real Estate Podcast | Home Care for Second Homeowners in Summit County

In this episode of the Mountain Real Estate Podcast, Candice sits down in person with Alex from Rockridge to talk about an often-overlooked need in Summit County: home care for second homeowners who are not renting their properties.

Many mountain homeowners don’t need full property management, but they do want peace of mind when they’re away. Alex explains how Rockridge is offering proactive home check services for homes they’ve built—helping owners catch issues early, streamline communication, and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth between builders, property managers, and subcontractors.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why non-rented second homes still need professional oversight
• Common issues builders get calls about after a home is completed
• FlowLogic, water monitoring systems, heat tape, and winter risks
• How Rockridge’s home care program works and how often inspections happen
• The value of builder-led home care and written inspection reports
• Why trusted local relationships matter in a small mountain town

This episode is especially helpful for Summit County second homeowners, new construction buyers, and anyone looking for a practical, low-stress way to protect their mountain property.
