Home inventory - a growing industry

The personal property inventory service industry is growing at an amazing rate. When we started Hartman Inventory in October of 2004, we could find only about 20 other service providers in the United States. There are now over 500!

I believe the main reason for this growth is due to the increasing number of disasters. This has created more common knowledge of the need to have an inventory of the contents in homes and businesses.

Another reason for this industry growth is that people just don't want to do it themselves. For the same reason they hire a lawn service, painter or cleaning service, to name a few, people prefer spending time with family or on other interests. Many also know they won't keep their inventory up to date, so having a professional service provider keep track of this information is worth the investment.

Do you have an inventory of the contents in your home and/or business?
