What Is a Home Record and Why Every Homeowner Needs One

The Problem

Ask most homeowners these questions: - What brand and model is your furnace? - When was your roof last replaced? - What paint color is on your bedroom walls? - Where is the shutoff valve for your outdoor spigot? Most cannot answer any of them. This is not a knowledge problem. It is a documentation problem. Homes do not come with a user manual, and the information that matters is scattered across filing cabinets, old emails, and previous owners' memories. ## What a Home Record Is

A FAIT Home Record is a permanent digital repository of everything about your home. It starts with a 3D Matterport scan that captures every room, and then our technicians tag each system, appliance, and fixture with detailed information: - Make, model, and serial number for every appliance - Installation dates and expected lifespan - Paint colors and finishes for every room - Warranty documents linked to specific items - Maintenance history from services completed through FAIT ## Why It Matters ### For Maintenance When something breaks, you know exactly what you have. No crawling behind the water heater to read a label. No guessing about compatibility. Your free agent sees the exact specs before they arrive. ### For Insurance If you file a claim, you have a complete, timestamped inventory of your home's contents and systems. This speeds up claims and ensures you receive full value. ### For Resale A documented home sells faster and for more money. Buyers are willing to pay a premium for a property with a complete maintenance history and digital walkthrough. ### For Peace of Mind Knowing the state of every system in your home eliminates the anxiety of the unknown. You know what needs attention, when it needs it, and what it will cost. ## How to Get Started Book a Home Scan at itsfait.com/book-scan.
