To answer the question why do I need a home inventory you need to understand what a home inventory is and what it is used for. First, a home inventory is a listing of all your possessions. You may think that you don’t need a list or a video to remind you of what you own but I think once you make an inventory, you will be surprised at all the things that you have. Can you remember all of the holiday decorations that you have? Every piece of clothing and household items? Chances are you can’t. 

When something bad happens and bad things do happen even in lovely places like Longwood, FL, you will be asked to tell your insurer what they need to replace when you file a claim. You have to know the model of things like TVs and other electronics. You want to be able to replace what you had with something of equal value and quality. Your inventory, especially with receipts and photos attached will make the whole process go much smoother and quicker. It takes a little time to do an inventory but the potential benefit makes it worthwhile.
