Owning a home is the fulfillment of the American dream. It’s probably the biggest investment you will ever make in your life. Hope Mills, NC, is a great community, but even in the nicest places, bad things can happen. At Cross Creek Insurance, we want to make sure your investment is safe and you have the home insurance you need. 

Making a Home Inventory

You can easily make a home inventory with a mobile app. This will allow you to document each room with pictures, supplemented by any receipts you have. The more detail you add, the better. Include the brand, serial numbers, and model number for electronics. Open every drawer, in every room, and count everything in them. Go through closets and record all major furniture and decor. 

Go up to the attic if you have one, and remember to include your holiday decorations. Head down to the basement and then to the garage. You have no idea the extent of any damage that your home may sustain. It’s better to overdocument than underdocument. 

Storing Your Home Inventory

Your home inventory needs to be stored in a safe place. If you have a digital home inventory, store it in the cloud so you’ll be able to access it from anywhere. But if you have a physical home inventory, you’ll need to use a safe deposit box or another secure location outside of your home. 

Cross Creek Insurance, serving Hope Mills, NC, is your local independent insurance agency. That means we can offer you more choices when it comes to your home insurance. Call us, and let us help you with your home inventory or any other home insuracne needs.
