PropertyHero was born from a shared experience—one that exposed how unprepared homeowners can be when life just happens.

Co-founders Trey and Max met in college and discovered their fathers had faced the same struggle with home insurance. Brett dealt with a failed water heater, while Shaun woke up to a flooded kitchen after his dishwasher overflowed. The real challenge wasn’t just the damage—it was the frustrating insurance process that followed.

Both had to track down receipts, document losses, and navigate endless paperwork, only to realize that missing details delayed and even reduce their claims. It became clear: homeowners needed a better way to manage and protect what they own before disaster happens.
