How do I create a home inventory?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Walk through your home room by room and document your belongings with photos or video. Note the make, model, and serial numbers of major appliances and electronics. Include estimated values and purchase dates. Store the inventory digitally in the cloud and keep a physical copy in a fireproof safe. Update it annually or after major purchases. Insurance companies often provide apps for this.

Why It Matters

A home inventory makes filing insurance claims faster and ensures you receive full reimbursement if your belongings are damaged or stolen.
