“His dry wit and excellent writing are a bonus.” Heather Ayares . Eastham
“I feel so fortunate to have Jon Clark and Nauset Management watching over our house. Since we purchased the home, Jon has given us total peace of mind, in rain, snow, hurricane conditions he is totally there. We appreciate his responsiveness, integrity, hard work and evident knowledge and love of the Cape. His dry wit and excellent writing are a bonus! He responds so quickly to emails that I wonder when and if he is ever takes a break. Many thanks to you Jon!”
Unethical?
With 2020 packed in mothballs, I have a tremendous amount to be thankful for when looking past the chaos and surveying the fruits of my hopeless contrarian approach to business. As the world was coming to grips with an eminent change in our day-to-day routines cloaked...
New Edition
After 22 years of earnest resistance, Nauset Management welcomes its first full time employee...of the two legged variety to be clear. Jack Still came aboard on August 26th of this year and brings with him almost a decade of home watch experience. Beyond unflappable...

License & Registration Please
Ask for it. Working through my 22nd season, the uptick in home watch companies and pre-existing companies from cleaners to painters and everyone in between offering home watch services, has spiked over the past 5-6 years. Before banging on the State Police Watch...
In Case You Missed It
Stocking Stuffer As many may be aware, April 25, 2018 marked the fourth-rate change for watch service since Nauset Management was created in 1998. The ability to both lead in service as well as extend reasonable pricing is predicated not only on a restricted service...
Ah Fall
It isn’t passing my 2018’s sales number of $8.14 million with four months left on the calendar that has me grinning from ear-to-ear. That joy is directly attributed to the giddiness that washes over me whenever I get close to the edge of the off-season…or our...
What’s Your Angle?
With seemingly more than half the local population licensed to sell real estate, its little wonder that the comparatively smaller inventory drives many to niche markets which then begs the question as to whether or not a saltwater specialist can effectively sell a...
