ROOM BY ROOM
What we document
Every visit is the same disciplined walk: room by room, top to bottom, on video — with timestamped photos and plain-language notes on anything worth your attention. This is the standard list we cover at every property. Add your own items any time — that recurring drip, the shutter that sticks — and they become part of your property's permanent walkthrough list.

Loose outdoor items documented (and, where arranged, brought in)
AFTER: the same walk, same order, same rooms — so the before and after line up frame for frame
Everything delivered to your dashboard, dated — records you can lean on if you ever need to file a claim
