It’s important to keep a home inventory — especially these days, with the popularity of flat-screen televisions, iPhones, video games and other expensive electronics.
But the process can be time-consuming and difficult. The Insurance Information Institute’s Know Your Stuff tool can make doing a home inventory a breeze.
Know Your Stuff helps you enter items by room and upload photos or scanned receipts. Once the information is in the system, items can be sorted by price, date of purchase or type (silverware, major appliances, etc.). You can even customize your own categories.
Once completed or updated, the Know Your Stuff report also can be printed, saved on a computer, e-mailed, burned on a CD or given to your agent to keep on file.
The site has an informative video about the Know Your Stuff tool, giving you a quick look at the process and the importance of doing a home inventory!
