Remember the fallen and the supreme sacrifice of America’s armed forces. It’s also a day to support those who still serve and protect us. I’m proud to be an American!

Thank You for your service!

Spring is here –  time for Spring cleaning, the best time of year for cleaning the house from top to bottom.  Now would be a great time to start sorting through the attic, garage, closets and maybe that storage unit you keep paying for each month, to weed out the unwanted items you’ve been meaning to unload.  This is a great time to organize a yard or garage sale or bag up all those items you don’t use to drop off at your favorite charity.

We at Fairfield Home Inventory can help you organize and simplify this task by offering our Inventory Express Package.  Let us catalog your Garage or Tag Sale with our express package – quick and easy, we’ll come in and take high quality photos and download them to our software for a wonderful catalog display that you can download to your computer or tablet.

1. Marriage: You’re getting married and joining 2 households.
2. Divorce: Thinking of divorce?  You should make sure that you have a record of everything so that you can split the contents of your home equally.
3. Guardianship: You have a parent who is ill and you’re considering putting them in a facility where they will get the care they need.  Now you have to go thru everything in their home to consider what to keep; sell or donate to family members or charity. Or, your parents live in another part of the country.  Do you know what they have?
4. Moving: You’re moving across the country or the city and you’re using a moving company.  Make sure that what you put on the truck comes out in the same condition or, that it comes out at all.
5. Second Home/Rental Property: You have a furnished rental property and you want to make sure that the state of any furnishings in the house, are in the same condition when your tenants moved in as when they move out.  And, you want to make sure that nothing is missing.
6. Pre-Nuptials:  You’re considering marriage and you want to create a Pre-Nuptial Agreement.  A full record of what you brought into the marriage would be an excellent way to CYA.
7. Collections: You have a collection that is either valuable monetarily or personally.  Have a record of those valuables in case you ever lose them,  they get broken, stolen or destroyed.
8. Storage Unit: Do you know what you placed in storage? Most people don’t have a clue and you could have valuable items just waiting to be stolen or ruined!
9. Interior Decorating: You are having your house redone by decorators and contractors.  Shouldn’t you have a record of all of your valuables and their condition?  It never hurts to be sure that your valuables remain in your home and that you have proof of any possible damage.
10. Mediation: a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) or “appropriate dispute resolution“, is a way of resolving disputes between two parties. A third party inventory can help the parties come to a final decision based on the facts given.
11. Disaster: A disaster strikes.  Fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, theft, earthquake, sink hole.  Do you have a record of all that you lost for your insurance claim?  Don’t wait until you’re in the middle of chaos and beyond distressed to try to remember what you own.
12. Renters: Need to have an inventory because they are responsible for the items in the house they are renting.

Fairfield Home Inventory still alive and well but I’m very much interested in Photography, it’s a big part of taking pictures for Home Inventories. I figured I would post some pictures to my website. I hope everyone is having a great summer.

Vacation time is here!

If you’re going on vacation with your camera equipment make sure you “Document” everything you’re taking to record your holiday memories. In case of loss, theft or damage you want to know that your camera’s, lenses or video equipment is inventoried and a copy of that documentation is stored someplace safe and readily available in case of loss. Happy Summer!

We’re in the first week of March and spring is right around the corner (even though it certainly doesn’t feel like it this weekend). Now would be a great time to start sorting through your closets, the garage, maybe that storage unit you keep paying for each month, to weed out the unwanted items you’ve been meaning to unload.

While you sit inside trying to figure out what Mother Nature is going to throw at us next, it might be a wise use of time to get organized for a spring garage sale or start bagging up unwanted items to drop off at your favorite charity.
At the same time you’re organizing and discarding old unwanted belongings, it’s the perfect time to take stock of ALL your personal possessions. It’s always a good time to inventory your home or business to create a comprehensive catalog of all your belongings.

Would you be able to remember all the items in your home or business if a natural disaster, accidental disaster or loss due to theft or home invasion occurred? That’s what your Insurance Company will tell you to do AFTER a loss – TRY TO REMEMBER each and every item in your home. Go through each room and write down what you remember in that room. Isn’t that ridiculous – try to remember? You should already have a record of all your belongings stashed away in a safety deposit box, in a relative’s house or with your insurance company.

These are just a few of the most common reasons to have an asset catalog of all your possessions, there are many more reasons and benefits to know what you own and how much each item is worth. Check out our website at www.fairfieldhomeinventory.com for more useful information and more reasons why it’s so important to have a detailed home/business inventory.

Call us at 203-914-5391 or email us at www.info@fairfieldhomeinventory.com to set up your FREE, NO OBLIGATION quote. Get ready for a great SPRING!
