About Blue Line Home Watch
Blue Line Home Watch is a full service house watching service and concierge company that is customer focused and dedicated to providing you peace of mind knowing we are looking after one of your most important assets — your home.
Brian Tholen, Owner
Blue Line Home Watch is an accredited member of the National Home Watch Association, and is bonded and insured.
At Blue Line Home Watch, we take pride in providing our clients with services delivered with professionalism, integrity, and accountability. You will have peace of mind during your time away knowing your home is being cared for by house watching service professionals with years of problem-solving experience and crisis-management skills.
Brian Tholen, the founder and owner, was inspired to start Blue Line Home Watch after he saw first hand the need to watch over homes in the Lake Minnetonka communities. After 29 years of safeguarding communities and people’s homes as a police officer and managing his own properties (including one in northern Minnesota) and 20 years of owning rental properties in Wayzata, Brian and Blue Line Home Watch will bring the same level of vigilance and professionalism to caring for your property while you are away. Blue Line Home Watch will provide a “security blanket” for your home, prevent costly property damage, and will be your advocate to mitigate any problems that occur.
Brian is a graduate from the University of St. Thomas and the 275th F.B.I. National Academy in Quantico. He comes from a family that owned a plumbing business where Brian was “field trained” by his father and went on service calls as a teenager.
