Hometenders: Housesitters for Homes for Sale

Updated

John Bezik and his wife Cyndee own a home, but for now they're living in a $2.8 million, 6,500-square-foot home outside Scottsdale, Ariz., that has been on the market for more than a year.

It's not their house, but they sleep there at night. By day, they keep the pool sparkling, the plants trimmed and the interior showroom-quality immaculate in case a real estate agent wants to bring a buyer through at a moment's notice.

They decided to rent out their home and act as interim caretakers of another until the market improves. But John Bezik is not, as the saying goes, just a member, he's also the president.
