Look at all that stuff!

I was reading the contents of an estate sale recently. Some of the items were 19th Century Straight Razor Form Trade Sign, Tiger Maple Candle Box, Sword, Early Apothecary, Rare Treenware, Cast Iron Oil Chandeliers, Queen Anne Dining Chairs, Huge Mahogany Pedestal Table ...

I'm guessing you don't have many - if any - of these items in your home. But that doesn't make what you DO have less valuable to you. Think of having a disaster and not having a list of what you own. Would you be able to say how many clothes you have? What about listing your electronics, collectibles, appliances - even just your every day items? If you won't (and I'm positive you can't), then you'll not file a complete insurance claim.

Bottom line, you won't recover financially the way you should. Then, especially in these economic times, where will you get the money to replace what your insurance settlement didn't? Credit cards? Pull money from a retirement account? Kids' college fund? Ouch, ouch, and ouch again.

The holiday weekend is coming up. You'll probably have some down time. Create your inventory! Better yet, call us to provide the inventory service for you. Then, while you're partying, celebrating the 4th of July, or just relaxing in the back yard, we'll do your inventory for you. How's that for celebrating?
