Imagine coming home to find your house has been devastated by fire. While this scenario is rare, we believe that preparation can minimize the likelihood and impact of such disasters. During stressful times, recalling every possession you've lost for insurance purposes can be overwhelming, which is why creating a home inventory is essential for both homeowners and renters.
Gone are the days when compiling a home inventory was a painstaking chore. Thanks to technology, you can now complete this task quickly and efficiently, giving you lasting peace of mind. Simply use your phone to capture a video walkthrough of your home. Cover each room, narrating the contents as you go. Don’t forget to peek into closets and drawers, and capture items stored in your safe, garage, and shed. Upload the video to a secure cloud server like YouTube or email it to yourself for safekeeping.
Go a little further and note valuable serial numbers and receipts for high-value possessions.
Digitizing important documents is another proactive step you can take. Scan or photograph documents and store them securely online. Remember to check and adjust your privacy settings for any sensitive uploads.
Though we hope you'll never need to use your home inventory, being prepared is always a smart choice. If any inquiries arise about your home insurance, please contact us at 519-736-8228.
