Why is it important to have someone managing your second home in Teton Valley?

Teton Valley’s weather, wildlife (especially bears), and remote access make vacant properties vulnerable to issues like:

• Freeze damage

• Rodents or pest intrusion

• Storm damage

• Missed deliveries

• Unattended trash (a bear attractant!)

Hiring a local Sidekick ensures your property is protected, no matter the season.

Do you offer referral incentives?

Yes. If you refer a client who signs up for recurring services, you’ll receive a $200 referral bonus. Realtors, contractors, and neighbors love this program.
