How to create a home inventory that speeds up claims

A repeatable method for documenting your belongings before you ever need to.

  1. 1

    Go room by room

    Photograph or video each room, opening drawers and closets.

  2. 2

    Capture high-value items

    Note serial numbers and keep receipts for electronics, jewelry, and appliances.

  3. 3

    Store it off-site

    Save the inventory to the cloud or email it to yourself so it survives a loss.
