Free Home Inventory Program

The Insurance Information Institute is offering a free home inventory program for both PC's and Mac's. The program is called Know Your Stuff (v3). The program has wizards to set up the initial files and guide you through the initial property itemization. Rooms and property can always be added or easily deleted, it accepts images for property and receipts, plus it can generate reports. The Insurance Home Institute site states the software will help create a room-by-room inventory of personal possessions. Having an up-to-date home inventory will help you:

• Purchase enough insurance to replace the things you own.
• Get your insurance claims settled faster.
• Substantiate losses for your income tax return.

I have not used or tried the program, so there is no endorsement on my part. I am only posting it because it is available, it might be useful and its free.

This product might be a good value added item to give to our homeowner clients. It is free, easy to use, and the homeowner can simply document those items which do not rise to the level of a full written appraisal and make notations that a written appraisal is available on others.
