Take inventory of your property, belongings, and most prized possessions with just your phone! 

Hurricane season is upon us, and while there are many ways to be ready for it, doing a home or business inventory is at the top of the list.

Did you know that with a simple app on your smartphone you can take inventory of all your most valued possessions at your home, and even include belongings stored in your garage or storage facility? Taking a record of everything you own will make filing an insurance claim so much easier in case the unexpected happens. 

What Your Home Inventory App Should Track

An inventory of your property and belongings should include the following details: 

• A photo and/or video of the item. 

• A description, plus the make and model of the item.

• The value of the item

• The date of purchase

• Item serial number

• Receipts
