Michigan Personal Property Inventory Service Newest Member of the Hartman Inventory Group

Online, March 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Burglary rates are up, fires are frequent and natural disasters occur. The need for a personal property (home) inventory is evident. Residents in Oakland County, Michigan, who don't want to create their own inventory, now have an alternative. Elite Inventory LLC is a home and business inventory service that was established to serve those who want to file their insurance claim quickly and receive a maximized settlement.

Many home owners and business owners are too busy to compile this information. When they experience a disaster, they are faced with the emotional and time-consuming task of trying to remember and prove all of their personal property that was damaged or destroyed. Elite Inventory owners Tim and Kelly Edwards now provide this service, plus save the documents on a secure online backup service. They also offer annual renewals and updates so their customers can keep their information current.

Both of these new business owners are engineers by formal education and by trade. They relocated to Clarkston in 1996 when Kelly's employer, Delphi Corporation, offered her a promotion. While being employed in various engineering-related positions, Tim has been researching opportunities to start a business. He explained, "We started our business so we can be in control of our destiny. Setting our own hours allows us to spend more time with our sons. We chose this industry because we want to help people by providing the tools for them to have a smoother and quicker recovery after a disaster."

As engineers, the couple understands the importance of formalized processes and procedures. "Choosing to purchase a Hartman Inventory Systems turnkey package allows us to provide this service faster to the local community. We gained knowledge from the experience the Hartmans share, which has enabled us to reduce the long learning process."

Creating an inventory requires attention to detail during the documentation and then again when processing the information into the customer's portfolio. The detail skills of these two engineers, mixed with their desire to help others, and the flexibility to spend time with family creates the perfect blueprint for their chosen lifestyle.
