Leadership and Industry Experience
Michelle Doyel is the owner of While You’re Away Home Watch Services. She has been a native Floridian her entire life and understands the needs and concerns that can arise from being an absentee homeowner. As a licensed insurance agent, she has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of dealing with claims on a property that isn’t occupied all the time. While spending the last decade watching homeowners as well as commercial property owners lose insurance claims for not having the appropriate people watching over their properties, she decided it was time to help out honest people trying to make sure their properties are properly being cared for. This is why she started While You’re Away.
Sean Doyel has been a trusted Banking Center Manager in his prior life before going into the home watch business. During his time in banking, Sean was an entrusted advisor to both local clients and snowbirds. With a large following and clients, Sean decided it was time to jump into a service that would be beneficial to his clients. I am personally excited to be part of such a trusted business where we are taking care of customers' most trusted asset. I look forward to interactions with all new and future clients.
Local Knowledge and Property Care Insights
Chris Doyel is a retired nuclear professional engineer. He attended the Naval Academy, served in the Navy during the Vietnam War on board a destroyer, and then worked in the power industry for the rest of his career. He and his family moved to Florida in 1976 after attaining employment with Florida Power Corporation, established a residence here in Pinellas County, and have maintained a Florida residence ever since. After almost twenty-five years with Florida Power, he began a contracting career and worked for another fourteen years at various facilities across the United States, mostly in the Southeast.
While working as a contractor with other power companies, Chris learned about what it meant to maintain a house while being away at a remote location. This experience and being a homeowner himself in Florida have given him insights into what can and will go wrong at a house that is not currently being occupied by its owners on a full-time basis.
