Home Inventory Software Available for Smart Phones

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners is making a free Home inventory application for Smart Phones.

"Whether it’s gourmet cooking, designer handbags or high-end electronics, the investment Americans make in personal passions can have a profound impact on insurance needs.

But research suggests 48 percent of consumers do not have an inventory of their possessions. And of those who do, 32 percent have no photos and 58 percent have no receipts. Creating a simple home inventory helps you track exactly what you own and what it is worth, making important insurance decisions easier."

Spending a couple of hours entering the information about your house and possessions is time well spent. The smart phone app allows you to take pictures of valuables and assign them to rooms in  the inventory and enter purchase date and price. After completing the inventory you can email the spreadsheet to an offsite location for safekeeping.
