Q: I know there is software available so I could make my own home inventory. Why should I choose Braun Inventory Specialists to create the records for me when I can do it on my own?

A: Although there are quite an array of home inventory software packages on the market, some easier than others to use, they all have something in common – you must take the time to document, photograph, videotape each object, itemize collections, find and write down serial numbers and pertinent details. And then you will need to organize it all, input all the data, photos, video, into the program on your computer, make discs or CD copies,
print out photos and hard copies, get a secure box or container to store them safely. The manufacturers of these software programs all admit that this will take a minimum of 12-14 hours of time, for a basic inventory of an
average sized home. Do you have that time to
spend – and, more importantly, will you get around to doing it? Braun Inventory Specialists, with their proven methods of organization, will handle this tedious, time-consuming work for you – and, because this is our business and we know what we are doing – we will do it
in the time that you would spend on a
leisurely lunch with friends. You will have your personal possessions fully documented and in one place in a
secure, zippered case that you can access quickly in case of need. Isn’t your time worth that difference?
