Most people never seem to think a fire could happen at any given moment and burn down their home, and luckily most of them never will. But why play the game of questions, why not be prepared no matter what? There are certain steps you can take to ensure that you are prepared as much as you can be incase a disaster were to arise knocking at your homes front door. People are always taking precautionary steps to keep disasters away, but what is one you can take that will have you prepared for when they do?
Answer: Keep an up to date Home Inventory Checklist. MyPOLICYspace.com has created one for you. We have made it as simple as possible thanks to our Home Inventory Checklist.
You may be asking why keep one? While making sure you have a safety plan created for you and your family in case a disaster were to occur is crucial, it is almost just as important to have most of your personal belongings listed. Take a moment to think about it; are you able to list everything in your house off the top of your head? If you are like most of America the answer is NO. At a time of loss your insurance carriers ask you these questions before you can be reimbursed for your personal possessions. Therefore keeping a list will speed up the process.
Take the list room to room writing down every item you see. For the bigger more expensive items try writing down the model numbers along with where and when it was purchased. Although some of the items you have your house may have depreciated in replacement value (i.e. electronics) some may have increased in value (i.e. Jewelry, fine art). Check with myPOLICYspace.com and find out if your current policy covers these valuables. In the market for homeowners insurance or just not satisfied with your current carrier? Call 800-99MYPOLICY lean on us to find you the most coverage at the lowest price available!
Other smart tips:
- Take pictures of the bigger ticketed items in your house. On the back try writing down when the item was purchased and how much it cost.
- Keep and/or make copies of receipts from this point on. If you find this to be too cumbersome try doing this for big ticketed items. (Make sure you have more than one copy incase a disaster was to take place)
- Store you list in a safe spot. Try keeping one copy in your home and another outside if your home. If you are unable to find a second location try sending it to a web-based email this way it can be accessed from any location.

Hey MCS,
Great article, very relevant with wildfire season coming up, and actually starting early here in California. I actually had an apartment fire 2 years ago after moving to San Francisco which led me to what I am doing now.
We are currently working on creating a new online based home inventory platform called MyVault that is extremely easy to use and as secure as online banking. I'd like to invite you and any of your readers to check out the home page where you can sign up to test out the Beta version for free which should be out just before the summer. As a thank you for testing it out we are offering 6 free months of service once it is live.
And keep up with the good articles, I look forward to reading more of them!
