Our Story

A Message from Our Founder


Thank you for taking the time to learn about Home Watch Chicago.


Every company reflects the values of the people who build it.


Home Watch Chicago is no different.


Long before Home Watch Chicago was founded, the principles that would define our company were quietly taking shape around a family table, where hospitality was far more than welcoming someone into your home. It was an expression of respect. It was generosity without expectation. It was taking pride in every detail and caring for others simply because it was the right thing to do.


Those values became the foundation upon which Home Watch Chicago was built, and they continue to shape every decision we make today.


Since founding Home Watch Chicago in 2008, my goal has never simply been to watch over homes—it has always been to care for them with the same thoughtfulness, professionalism, and respect that I believe every homeowner deserves.


Because caring for a home has never been just about the home itself—it has always been about caring for the people who have entrusted it to us.


That is the Home Watch Chicago way.



We design trust.


Every detail should strengthen the whole.




Lilian Khattar
Founder & Principal

Founder & Principal


Lilian Khattar founded Home Watch Chicago in 2008 with a commitment to providing professional residential property oversight built upon disciplined processes, thoughtful communication, and consistent standards of care.


Under her leadership, Home Watch Chicago has earned the trust of homeowners throughout Chicago and the surrounding communities by approaching every property with professionalism, careful observation, clear communication, and genuine respect for the responsibility entrusted to us.


Her belief is simple: every home deserves to be cared for with the same level of attention, preparation, and integrity that she would expect for her own.


The Home Watch Chicago Way

Every company has its own way of doing business.


This is ours.


We believe trust is earned through thoughtful preparation, careful observation, clear communication, and consistent follow-through.


Every property visit reflects the same disciplined process because every home entrusted to us deserves the same level of professionalism, attention, and respect.


Our commitment is simple:


• We arrive prepared.


• We observe thoughtfully.


• We communicate clearly.


• We document thoroughly.


• We respect every home as if it were our own.

Our Team


Every member of Home Watch Chicago is selected not only for their reliability and professionalism, but for their judgment, attention to detail, and commitment to the standards that define our company.


We believe consistency is created by people who care deeply about doing things well—every visit, every report, every home.


Our Mission


To care for every home entrusted to us with professionalism, thoughtful observation, and clear communication, helping homeowners remain informed and confident while they are away.



What We Believe


Preparation

We believe thoughtful preparation is one of the greatest expressions of respect. Every property visit begins long before we arrive, because careful planning allows us to serve our clients with confidence and consistency.


Consistency
Trust is not built through a single visit. It is earned through doing the right things, the right way, every time. That is why every property receives the same disciplined level of care, observation, and communication.


Accountability
We stand behind our observations, our communication, and every recommendation we make. Accountability means taking ownership of both our responsibilities and the trust our clients place in us.


Respect
Every home tells the story of the people who live there. We never lose sight of that responsibility. Every property entrusted to us is treated with the same care, professionalism, and respect we would expect for our own.

Professional Credentials That Inspire Confidence

Home Watch Chicago maintains professional affiliations, licensing, and recognized credentials that reflect our commitment to accountability, ethical business practices, and consistent residential property oversight.

Consistency You Can Rely On

Every home receives the same disciplined approach, because trust is built through consistency—not circumstance.

Serving Homeowners Since 2008

Since 2008, homeowners throughout Chicago and the surrounding communities have entrusted Home Watch Chicago with the care of one of their most valuable assets.
