About Snowbird Guardian Home Watch and Our Founder, Doreen Yaggie
Experience You Can Trust. Care You Can Rely On
For Doreen Yaggie, Snowbird Guardian Home Watch is a natural extension of a lifelong dedication to service and care. From a young age, Doreen demonstrated a strong entrepreneurial spirit, learning the values of independence, hard work, and perseverance.
After beginning her career on Wall Street in New York City, Doreen moved to Minnesota, where she raised her family and discovered a passion for real estate. For nearly 30 years, Doreen built a trusted real estate career known for her integrity, attention to detail and commitment to going above and beyond for her clients.
It was this deep understanding of homes and the needs of homeowners that naturally evolved into the creation of Snowbird Guardian. With nearly three decades of experience in real estate, property management, and investment ownership, Doreen realized a clear gap, Homeowners, especially executives, seasonal residents, and lakeshore property owners needed more than a simple home watch check.
They wanted a discreet, deeply personal level of care from someone with proven integrity. That’s why Doreen founded Snowbird Guardian Home Watch: to provide homeowners with peace of mind.
Allowing them to focus on life’s precious moments, knowing their home is cared for with the highest level of attention and trust.

Supporting Seniors Transitioning to Assisted Living
Moving a loved one into assisted living can be an emotional and stressful experience for both seniors and their families—especially when family members live far away and cannot manage the home in person. Preparing a property for sale or long-term vacancy often takes weeks or months, leaving it vulnerable to break-ins, system failures, or weather-related damage.
Snowbird Guardian steps in quickly to provide reliable, professional oversight during this transition. We conduct regular interior and exterior home inspections to ensure the property remains secure, well-maintained, and protected. After each visit, you receive a detailed digital report complete with photos and notes, so you are always informed.
We manage the small details and immediately alert you to any concerns that require attention. In addition, we coordinate with contractors, realtors, and other service providers—helping manage any necessary projects and preparations. Our services provide peace of mind, allowing families to focus on what matters most during a challenging time.
