Shores Asset Inventory Joins The Hartman Inventory Group

Online, January 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Shores Asset Inventory is the newest Group Member of the Hartman Inventory Systems. Owner Steve Slabaugh, a life-long resident of Syracuse, Indiana, brings years of business ownership and management experience to his new business. Currently a Manufacturer's Representative, he previously owned Bud's Body Shop and Shores Powder Coating.

Slabaugh was looking for a business that would honor his core values of honesty and integrity when he discovered the personal property inventory industry. With a desire to help people, he realized this opportunity to serve others would be a good fit.

A personal property inventory is an essential component of disaster recovery for residential and business disasters. "I dealt with the claims side of the insurance industry for 12 years, and saw first-hand how people who were unprepared and intimidated by the claim process. Most insurance companies want to seek a fair settlement, but it is difficult because so many people don't realize what they need until it is too late."

Slabaugh sees this as a great opportunity. He explained, "Every person I sought advice from about this business was aware of the value of knowing what you own, but didn't know of anybody who was providing the service." As a former business owner, he realized the advantage of working with someone with industry knowledge. "The Hartman Inventory Systems offers everything I need, especially training and mentoring so I could start quickly and receive continued support," Slabaugh stated.
