01 / The kit

The Big Ticket Watch List

Every expensive thing in your house is already on a clock. You write in the year it was installed; the list tells you when to start saving instead of when to start panicking.

Exterior caulk 2–4 yr
Exterior paint 5–7 yr
Water heater, tank 8–10 yr
A/C condenser 10–12 yr
Roof, asphalt shingle 12–15 yr
Furnace / air handler 15–18 yr
Windows 15–25 yr
Roof, metal 30–40 yr
010203040 YEARS

Your caulk fails seven times before your roof does, which is exactly why it's the thing nobody budgets for. These numbers run shorter than the national ones on purpose: salt, humidity, and UV wear coastal homes faster than those averages assume. The full kit carries the whole list, plus a page on how to date everything in your house when the previous owner left you nothing.

Buying for clients rather than your own house? There's an agent edition licensed for exactly that.

02 / Storm season

The storm season binder

Thirty-three pages for the part of a hurricane nobody prepares for: proving what you owned, and getting paid for it. Built to be filled in while it's calm, because none of it can be done with a cone on the television.

$8,000

Your deductible is a percentage

Not a flat amount. On a $400,000 home a 2 percent wind deductible is $8,000 before the policy pays anything. Most people learn that from an adjuster, afterward. Page one is where yours gets written down.

A third

The money is lost after the wind stops

Most hurricane lists end when the weather does. More than a third of these pages sit after it: a damage log with a column for cause, because wind and flood are different policies, and the claim call log.

7 days

Three days is the federal number

Three days is for a house that was merely inconvenienced. After a Gulf landfall near you it is seven, and fourteen at the end of a long feeder line. The supply calculator does that math.

What the pages look like

A blank kitchen inventory sheet with columns for item, make and model, serial number, year and replacement cost.
Room by room inventory
A blank claim call log with columns for the date, who you spoke to and what they promised.
The claim call log

The supply calculator

Mostly blanks, which is the point: you fill them in while it is calm.

Contents coverage is usually 50 to 70 percent of what the house itself is insured for. To collect it you have to say what you owned, which is what the nine inventory sheets are for.

03 / For agents

The agent edition

If you hand a client something at closing, this is the version built for it. The same twelve months, branded with your name and brokerage on every page, and licensed to print for every client you close.

4 pages

Not twenty-seven, twenty times

Twenty closings at twenty-seven pages is 540 sheets, and nobody does that twice. The leave-behind is four pages for the closing table. The full kit is there for the client who asks for it.

Once

Type your details in and save

Your name and brokerage are form fields, so you fill them once and keep the file. Or send a logo and I'll build your copies and send them back, at no extra charge.

Every client

Licensed for exactly this

The $12.99 kit is licensed for one household, which is why it does not cover a stack for your clients. This one does, for every client you close, for as long as you're closing them.

What the pages look like

A detail of the page footer carrying a realtor's logo and name.
Your name on every page
A detail showing the form fields where an agent types their own details.
