Too close to home

A.J. Farley and I are developing a friendship and respect each others' passion for the industry. Our company, Hartman Inventory, provides personal property inventory services and so does he.

In his Home Inventory Matters blog, he posts a couple videos of the tornado that caused major destruction on Good Friday. Not unusual? No, it isn't - houses and entire neighborhoods are being destroyed - the storm season has begun. What inspired this post is that the damage is just down the road from his house.

When asked why they don't have their belongings documented and photographed, so often people tell me that they live with the attitude "it won't happen to me." I am guessing that some of the people in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (A.J.'s neighbors) are now wishing they had compiled this information themselves or had purchased an inventory service for their home or business. The cost for creating your own inventory is time. The cost for hiring a service provider is minimal, considering the tens of thousands of dollars you face to lose.

Please don't delay - your belongings could be gone in seconds.
