Welcome to 2019! Looking back on 2018, I am sure you have made some new year’s resolutions.

Many people want to lose weight, work harder at work, exercise more, travel more, and so on. But what is a great new year’s resolution that you should do for your real estate?

Take a property video! Home videos aren’t just for families or silly youtube videos. Property Videos are super helpful for your real estate. Unfortunate things can happen throughout the year, such as things accidentally breaking, natural disasters (hurricanes, tornados, flooding, earthquakes), simple property damage, or getting robbed.

Having documentation of the items in the property is priceless, and that is why a property video is super helpful. Plan to do a video every year, highlighting appliances, electronics, air conditioning, water heater, and so on.

Real Estate is usually someone’s most valuable asset. So why not protect your property, and everything in it?

Let’s go over some examples of how this property video could be helpful:

  1. The roof leaked and ruined everything in your living room. Your tv, sound system, sonos, alexa, dvd player, cable box, and router all got ruined. Sure, you probably have receipts, but do you remember everything that you had in that room?
  2. You had a house party, and you soon realize that someone stole your laptop and iPad.
  3. A hurricane came and flooded the entire house. Or, you live in a condo and your upstairs neighbor has a leak, that comes through your entire apartment.
  4. The garage was accidentally left open and everything, including the washer and dryer, was stolen.
  5. Things get bought or changed throughout the year, and people often don’t always keep receipts. Having a yearly record of the contents of a property is so important.

Protect your assets, protect your real estate, and put it in your calendar that every January, you take a detailed video of your property!
