I am such a passionate advocate of knowing what
you own that I've had an inventory of my house TWICE!

WHY? Because life has a way of changing unexpectedly. I bought my home 3 years ago and decided that it was important to know what I owned and if I was properly insured. The Hartman's came to my home and did a wonderful job of counting, recording and photographing the contents of my home.

Two years later, my son and my mother came to live with me, and with them came a whole new household of belongings. My very first call was to the Hartman’s. In my mind, it doesn't make sense not to have an inventory. The trauma of losing your home and its contents can be emotionally and financially devastating.

Insurance alone is not enough. Your insurance agent can only help you sufficiently if you can provide a list of your belongings and their value. The time to think about that kind of information is NOT when you are pumping out water from your flooded basement or sifting through the rubble left from a tornado or fire.

This is not about fear or unnecessary worry; for the same reasons that we lock our homes when we leave, it is about taking control of your life and being responsible. In times of strife, wouldn't you want to recover your losses as quickly as possible?

I can't think of a better investment than a full inventory of your home or office. Hartman Inventory has earned my trust, loyalty and gratitude by providing peace of mind. They have my highest recommendation and I urge all property owners - commercial and residential - to have them take care of you.
