When disaster strikes, are you covered?
In the last few years, tragedies like Hurricane Katrina and
the fires in Southern California have been a cruel reminder
that natural or other disasters can strike suddenly, at any
time, anywhere, and sometimes, without warning. Experiencing
a loss of your personal property as a result of a fire or
natural disaster can be devastating. Most of us have a
collection of household items that we have compiled over
many years. In times of loss, trying to remember those
items so that they can be replaced can be extremely
difficult.
That's why
my Client
Appreciation Program this month is about
conducting a home inventory. Taking this important step to
protect your assets is vital. It helps you to determine how
much insurance you need, whether you need special riders to
cover priceless family heirlooms, and in the unfortunate
event of a loss. It provides proof for your insurer of what
items need to be replaced. And while your first priority in
such a crisis is to protect your family and property, it is
also important to protect against the financial consequences
of a disaster. I hope that the enclosed article will be
helpful in getting you started on this vital protective
measure.
On the
back of the article, you'll find a worksheet that you can
copy and use to start recording the items you own. Use this
sheet to get started, or consider researching some of the
available software programs (listed on the front of the
article) that are now available for compiling a home
inventory. Considering that most of us would have a hard
time remembering what we had for lunch last Tuesday, being
able to remember all the items we have stored in the hall
closet seems that much more daunting. Protect yourself from
having to rely on memory, and give yourself some peace of
mind, by getting started today! As an additional incentive,
I've enclosed a coupon for Protect America. Take advantage
of this exclusive offer to protect your home and yourself.
Oh, by the way...if you know of someone like yourself who
could benefit from the services I provide, remember, I'm
never too busy for your referrals! You can reach me by cell
phone at (410) 978-9532 or send an email to
sherryrich@wesellmore.com.
I'll be glad to follow up and take good care of them for
you.
