Home, Office, Or Collectibles





WHY YOU NEED A DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHIC HOME INVENTORY

The most obvious reason to have a detailed home inventory is proof of assets in the case of a theft, fire, or natural disaster. High resolution digital images combined with scanned copies of accompanying receipts or appraisals is the best way to remember what you own and prove it to your insurance company.  Where would you start after such an event? The best starting point is an off-site digital inventory stored in your office or bank's safe deposit box.

Other reasons may be in preparation for renting or selling your home.  A home inventory kept on CDs in your home AND in your office or safe deposit box is your assurance that you have a record of the "before"  in case of loss or damage, but interior photographs are a valuable record of the time and place in your life.

Hobbiests may want a detailed record of a particular collection or project for personal enjoyment or for an upcoming hobby show.   If you own family heirlooms such as antique furniture, paintings, lamps, linens, or dinnerware, this is the ideal way to preserve and share detailed images and the stories behind them with family members and future generations.

HOW YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR IMAGES

Typically, I will edit the high resolution still photographs and create two copies for you on CDs.   You are welcome to  copy them to your home computer or flash drive (I keep my own inventory on my home computer,  flash drive which I carry with me, and  a CD in my bank Safe Deposit Box). 

The CDs will be mailed to you within two (2) business days.   If you are in Gwinnett County, schedule permitting, I may be able to  hand deliver them to you.

If you are in a greater hurry for the images and can't  wait for better quality edited photographs,  I can copy  the images at the time of your appointment  to a  flash drive which you provide .   Please let me know prior to the appointment which delivery method you prefer.  


 PLEASE NOTE that I am not an appraiser, and this is just a photographic record. I will provide a form for your use to list important items and quantities for your records, or you may create your own form.   Please read Preparing For Your Appointment.

WHY I AM OFFERING THIS SERVICE

The 2009 flood in metro Atlanta was a grim reminder that unexpected events happen, and  we only have to watch the news most nights to see a story about a  family's great loss due to theft or disaster.  Recently, I met with past clients who are recovering from such an event which damaged a good portion of their lovely home.   It was then that I decided to begin this service by offering it first to my real estate clients.

I PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH.    For years I have maintained a home inventory on my home computer, with a copy on a CD in my bank's safe deposit box and on a flash drive which carry with me.    When I purchase an item of value, I photograph it, scan the receipt, and add it to my inventory.  If I have significant home repair or replacement, I do the same.  It's very comforting to me to know that in the case of theft or disaster, I'll have a logical place to begin working with my insurance company.  



ABOUT ME:  

I have been a Gwinnett County, Georgia  REALTOR® since 1986.  Since my early days in new home sales, I have done my own photography and marketing, including new and resale homes of all price ranges.  I invite you to visit my Gwinnett County Real Estate Site.

I am an avid historian, genealogist, and vintage postcard collector, hosting a number of web sites, including the Gwinnett County GAGenWeb.  In 2009 I began offering high resolution restored digital images of vintage postcards, and it has been  rewarding, with images being  purchased for framed prints, publications and documentaries.  Check them out at  Vintage Postcard Images.

For fun this holiday season, I have created a blog to share close up photographs of my HO scale Christmas town.  I hope you'll stop in for a visit at  www.mytinypeople.worldpress.com .
