Special Weather News Announcement from Your Favorite Realtor 🚨🚨🚨
Hurricane Ian is on the way!
Many of you have already felt the impact of it before it has arrived, whether that be the long lines at the grocery store, no gas at the pumps and even your kids being sent home from school for the rest of the week!
You need to also prepare your home or rental that you own or lease! These are the biggest tips from your local realtor! 🔥
1. Verify if you have hurricane shutters in your home! You want to make sure that you are protecting your investment! The average cost to replace a window is $650 per window! If you have a new build, go to your garage and verify you have enough shutters for all of your windows. If you don’t, call your warranty representative ASAP and see what solution they can provide! If you don’t have shutters, wood may be the solution for you! 🪟🪟🪟
2. Sand bags are another useful tool to help prevent flooding into your home! Put them near sliding glass-doors and near the edge of your driveway 🏝️
3. If you have storm drains near your home, make sure there is no debris blocking it. How can potential flood waters drain, if it can’t pass through! 🌴🏡
4. Check your insurance policy coverages today! If you can’t locate your insurance policy documents, reach out to the insurance company and request a copy. Use this time to speak with a representative to ask all of your burning questions so you don’t have any concerns after the storm has left. At this point, a lot of insurance companies won’t allow you to change or add coverage due to the storm coming! 📄
5. If you are selling your home and have a Realtor sign up, take it out of the ground and put it in the garage so it doesn’t potentially cause damage to your home and worst another person! 🪧❌
6. Dismantle any basketball goals/hoops, trampolines or above ground pools (if aplicable)! 🏀🏊🏽♀️
7. Locate your electricity/gas valves. If you are told to evacuate, they typically recommend that you shut them off before you leave your home! 💡
