Turn years of home records into a useful handoff
A new owner needs more than a stack of manuals. Around The House can bring the home's assets, maintenance history, upcoming work, warranties, documents, service providers, and costs into one organized report.

What belongs in a home handoff
- Major assets and systemsNames, locations, identifying details, installation dates, and photos.
- Maintenance and repairsCompleted work, dates, providers, notes, and costs.
- Upcoming workRecurring maintenance and overdue or future reminders.
- Documents and warrantiesWarranty details and document counts; share original manuals, receipts, and invoices separately.
- Useful service contactsPeople and companies with relevant history at the property.
Summarize the home without flattening its history
The app creates a Home Handoff PDF summary. It includes document and photo counts, not a transfer of every original attachment or app ownership. Share original files separately when needed.
The report provides a broad view while the underlying records remain organized by item. A future reader can understand the scope of the home and still trace details back to the system or appliance involved.
Useful before a sale, move, or change in responsibility
A handoff can help a buyer, family member, property caretaker, or anyone newly responsible for the home. Decide what is appropriate to share and remove personal or sensitive records first.
A report is only as useful as the records behind it
The easiest time to record a repair is when it happens. Save details during normal ownership, then review names, dates, documents, and privacy before producing a handoff.
Build the handoff while you still own the history.
Each item and maintenance entry you save today makes a future home summary more useful.
