Inventory Your Home's Contents Online

Cole Harrison Insurance wants to make it easy for you to reconstruct your home's contents in the case of a loss. One of the easiest ways to do this is to have a good inventory established ahead of time.

There are different ways to making your list. You can write everything down in a notebook, for example. Or you can take pictures, writing information on the back of the photos or put information on your computer. In each of these situations, it would make the most sense to store these inventories at an off-site location.

If you have a video camera, you can walk through your house filming and describing the contents at the same time. If you have a personal computer, you can sign-up for free online inventory software that makes creating and keeping a home inventory information easy at  KnowYourStuff.org. TAKE ME THERE

Keep receipts when they are available and note the cost for the item, when you bought it and other information about the make and model. Expensive items like jewelry and art work and electronics like cameras and computers may need to be insured separately. Ask your Cole Harrison Insurance agent whether you need a floater or endorsement for your homeowners policy. Many times this additional coverage costs only a few dollars per year. In the case of loss, you'll be covered!
