What is a home or small business inventory?

Your Home Inventory is a protection service detailing a list of the personal property or assets in your home or business.

We begin by photographing the outside of your home or business and the grounds, including outside buildings and landscaping. Inside the home or business, every room or work area (including the garage and basement) will be photographed, showing all the contents. These high quality images record in greater detail all of your collectibles, antiques, jewelry, furs, furniture, cars, boats and if a business, office equipment, and shop equipment. In addition, a written record will be provided listing each item of value, including a description, serial/model numbers, cost, and your estimated or appraised replacement value (homes only).

We then input all your information and inventory into designed software identified by your case number. All information is then transferred to a CD and given to you upon completion. You will receive a portfolio shortly after the inventory containing your cd(s) and a certificate of "inventory completion" by a third party for insurance purposes.

Quoted from Shelter Insurance Homeowner Policy:

"Know what you own?"

Do you know what you own? You probably think you do, but could you come up with a complete list of all your personal possessions if you had to -- your furniture, appliances, clothing, valuables? If your home is damaged by a storm, then that is exactly what you might be required to do. Such a list is needed if a homeowners insurance claim is to be settled fairly. Also, it is required by your policy. Now is the time to begin putting together a list or inventory of all your personal property and keep it up to date.

Something to think about

Our service recommends that your information be kept in a safe deposit box at your local financial institution or a secure, fireproof safe. This is the only time-tested manner which ensures the information will be there when you need it. Online services have become popular, however security and confidentiality are questionable to say the least. Will your on-line inventory be there when you really need it?
