What is a Home Inventory?
A Home Inventory is a professionally prepared list, including photographs, videos and documentation of the personal or business property located in and around your home or business which is filled with necessities plus life's little luxuries.
We all accumulate personal property but seldom take the time to account for all theese possessions.
Think about how difficult it would be to list every lost item whether from a burglary, vandalism or major natural disaster.
Don't forget to include in your Home or Business Inventory the property stored elsewhere, perhaps in a storage area, garage or even a second home or business branch or satellite location.
Why is a Home Inventory Important?
For example, can you prove the exsistence and value of the antique silver passed down from your grandmother?
Even if a fire destroyed only one room in your home, could you remember all the contents? This is a loss of personal property, so a Home Inventory is equally important to a renter as well as a homeowner.
You have spent a lot of time and money choosing household itmes that give you pleasure or make your life more comfortable. Accounting for a loss is only one reason a Home Inventory is important. You are also encouraged to include an inventory as part of your complete Estate Planning package. Also consider how important a household inventory would be if you relocated.
What about my privacy?
Privacy and confidentiality are a concern anytime someone enters your home. It may be housekeeping, carpet cleaning, repairs, painting or delivery personnel. We understand this concern and are sensitive to our client’s wishes. Before we start any inventory, we take a tour of the home with our client. At this time we listen to any concerns or issues they may have in any of their rooms or with any of their items. We respect that each person has a varying comfort level thus we put our clients at ease prior to beginning their inventory. We also encourage client participation, and we are insured. In addition, we sign a confidentiality agreement with you as part of our standard contract.
What happens to the information that is recorded?
During the inventory process we capture the details of your personal property in our secure business software. Following the completion of a home inventory we prepare a comprehensive reporting package which includes detailed reports including pictures. We offer two key reports: Home Inventory by Location & Home Inventory by Category so that you can easily view your property details.
Once you have verified the accuracy of our reports we finalize your inventory and provide you with the following in our comprehensive package:
- Detailed Home Inventory Reports (By Location & Category)
- Protection-Plus Software for viewing home inventory results on your computer.
- Data CD containing data for the Protection Plus software to import and all digital images from your inventory.
- Client Information Package containing the following documents :
1. Getting the Most out of Insurance Claims
2. Ensuring Proper Insurance Coverage
3. Monthly Home Protection Tips
4. Protecting Valuables with Photo Records
5. Home Improvement Payback Tips

We suggest you either store your report in a secure off-site location such as a safe deposit box or utilize our safe deposit box storage services.
