Homeowners Insurance Claims: You Need an "App" for That!
A new iPhone® application from National Association of Insurance Commissioners makes it easy to create a home inventory!
A recent news release from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) highlighted the release of a new way of documenting home inventory for policyholders. The free myHOME Scr.APP.book app lets users quickly photograph and capture images, descriptions, bar codes and serial numbers, and then stores them electronically for safekeeping.
The app organizes information room by room, and even creates a back-up file for e-mail sharing.
Whether you are an agent, claims professional or adjuster you should consider making this information available to as many policyholders as possible. Even after a loss, it is a good idea to prevent the headaches in the event of future losses by not having to go through the contents mess all over again.
It's tough to remember everything that was in your home after a loss leaves your home looking like this :-(
If you are a policyholder, you should consider downloading this application if you have an iPhone®, and if not Google® the term "free home inventory application" and you will find a ton of options. I am only recommending the iPhone® applicaiton from the NAIC because I am confident in the organziation. For the others, like anytime you find something "free" on the Web - be careful!
