Today we are sharing a short list of tasks that you can do to help take care of your home, vehicle, and family. Consider them a helpful reminder of what needs to get accomplished throughout the month to keep your important items protected.
Order A Credit Report - March is Credit Education Month. One of the most important things you can do to protect your credit score (besides paying your bills on time) is to closely monitor your credit report.
The credit reporting agencies make
mistakes. That’s why you must be
vigilant in reviewing your report each year and requesting corrections. This is especially true if you’ve been the
victim of identity theft. Get a free
copy of your report from all major credit bureaus each year at www.annualcreditreport.com. You can also check your credit score for free
at www.creditkarma.com.
- Spring is known for strong storms. That’s why it’s good to have a plan ready before the bad weather arrives. Choose a place of shelter in your home (preferably with no windows or exterior walls) and gather up a small kit of supplies just in case. Include water, batteries, and flashlights.
Change Batteries In Your Smoke Detectors - Such a small task can be a lifesaver if you were to have a home fire. Plan to switch out batteries at every time change. This month, time will “Spring forward” on March 9th.
Get A
Life Insurance Quote - According to a survey by the
Life Foundation, 33% say they don’t have enough life insurance, including
one-fourth who already have a policy!
If this is you, call us today at
615-793-9000 for a free, no-obligation quote on affordable life insurance.
Protect
Your Kids (And Grandkids) - March is Poison Prevention
Month. Go through your home and look for
any hazardous chemicals or cleaning supplies that could be easily accessed by a
child.
Kitchen and bathroom sink areas and
garages are especially dangerous. Lock
these items in a cabinet or place in an area out of reach. Also make sure to have the phone number for
the local poison control center in case of an emergency.
Start
Landscaping - Yes, it’s probably a little early for
this one, but who isn’t ready to get outside after a long winter?
Landscaping can add thousands of dollars
in value to your home. Start planning
your spring flowers and garden now.
These should keep you busy all March
long! Let us know if we can assist you
in any way with your auto, home, business, or life insurance. Call Webb Pickard Insurance at 615-793-9000 or stop by our
office at 5258 Murfreesboro Rd., La Vergne, TN 37086.
