Ever met that one person who saves every receipt, warranty, and maintenance record like it’s gold? Let’s call them “The Documentation Ninja.” Most of us are more like “The Improvising Amnesiac,” scrambling to remember when we last serviced the HVAC—or worse, wondering if we ever did. Here’s why channeling your inner ninja could save you big bucks—and maybe even your sanity.
1. Keep Maintenance in Check (Because You’re the Manager Now)
You’re the CEO of Home Maintenance, whether you like it or not. And like any good CEO, you need records. Otherwise, you might end up like one of our clients who discovered their industrial chiller (worth $250,000!) had been neglected for five years by a no-show contractor. The chiller aged faster than your favorite avocado. Spoiler alert: It cost them dearly. For your home, start small. Start logging major systems like your HVAC or water heater. When your service provider completes the task, it can be easily logged in the system. You’re busy, but this tiny hack could save you big-time headaches (and money).
2. Win the Warranty War
Did you know manufacturers will gleefully void your warranty if you haven’t kept up with maintenance? It’s in the fine print that no one reads, right next to the part where they say they’re not responsible for anything, ever. Even if you’re a DIY champ, failing to log your handiwork is like forgetting to sign
your masterpiece. Lucky for you, PropertyHero has your back. Our AI fetches your warranty
details and sets up a maintenance schedule. It even nudges your favorite service pro when it’s time to act. Think of it as the ultimate digital nag—but in a good way.
3. Make Insurance Adjusters Love You (or at Least Like You)
Insurance companies can smell disorganization from a mile away. If you can’t prove the value or upkeep of your stuff, they might just say, “Nope!” Proper documentation makes their job easier—and might even lower your premiums someday.
