Organize your North Fork Homes’ Maintenance
Do you know where your important house documents are?
Your home can run like a well-oiled machine, if it’s well taken care of. You maintain your car on a regular schedule so why not do the same thing for your biggest investment – your north fork home.
It’s important to keep track of your home maintenance schedule, including what was done and when it’s due again. You also want to be able to easily find instruction manuals, appliance warranties and receipts. In most homes, those important documents are stuffed in a drawer, jammed in a filing cabinet or lost in a pile of papers.
If that sounds familiar to you, get organized by creating a three-ring home maintenance binder. When you sell your north fork home, give this binder as a gift to the new homeowner. Here are some of the documents you might want to include in your maintenance binder:
