Why Elite Home Watchers?

Your home is your sanctuary. It is filled with memories and possessions that deserve to be cared for when you are away as you would if you were there. Mother Nature constantly beats on our homes with sun, wind and water causing materials and systems to break down over time. Mechanical items like air conditioners clog and break. Pipes leak, people trespass and an assortment of other things can and will occur. There are a thousand reasons things happen, the best way to defend against damage from maintenance items is to stay on top of them.

Elite Home Watchers is a team of professionals focused on our clients and their homes.

We are Tom and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, our story started on a horse farm in a small North Georgia town. Elizabeth was a Realtor in Chattanooga, TN. where she was raised on Signal Mountain. Graduating from GPS and later attending the University of Tennessee Knoxville, her caring nature led her to a fulfilling career as a massage therapist. She specialized in sports and neuromuscular therapy working on a variety of personalities in professional sports and entertainment. Her creativity and love of fine food called her to open and transform a former 1920’s pharmacy into an award winning restaurant that was featured in Southern Living magazine and used as a backdrop for tv series and a movie. Elizabeth expanded her passions for helping others along their real estate journeys building lasting relationships with her clients.

Tom was born and raised in the Poconos of Pennsylvania. I graduated from Kansas State University, earned an MBA and a Masters in Project Management. I spent 20 years in various roles that gave me the opportunity to travel. I was blessed to work with amazing people located around the world managing diverse teams and projects in multiple countries. Working in the global market taught me the importance of professionalism, communication and confidentiality in every interaction.

Elizabeth and I began working together as a real estate team, licensed in FL, TN and GA. We focused on investing, rehabbing, and selling properties, while helping others do the same. Tragic family loss prompted us to move from Chattanooga TN to Sarasota FL. with our beloved Great Dane Bug. We decided to transition south to be close to family and join them in real estate. We are huge animal lovers, outdoor enthusiasts who love to explore all the beauty in nature. We are inspired by doing what we can to make a positive impact on the world and bring value to the people we meet.

  • Professionalism
  • Communication
  • Confidentiality
