spring cleaning and housing inventory

Spring is traditionally the time for a thorough housecleaning. It feels good after the long winter season to freshen up your surroundings and prepare for the warmer, brighter season ahead. Spring is a season of hope, of new beginnings and growth, and a time to take stock.

What better season, then, to consider updating your insurance, making sure your home inventory of valuable possessions is current, and confirming that your homeowners insurance is sufficient to meet your needs in case of emergency. Being prepared will allow you to approach the season of fun with confidence, knowing that you have done all you can to protect your family and your belongings.

Creating a home inventory, and documenting purchase dates, prices, model numbers and replacement values is detail work that, admittedly, can be burdensome. But there is a tool, developed by insurance professionals, which will assist you as you undertake this important task.  It is available for you to use free of charge, and it will simplify the procedure and could prove to be invaluable in case of possible loss.  You can download the inventory form along with instructions for using it to catalog, document and photograph your valuables by visiting www.knowyourstuff.org.

We at Randy Jones Insurance will be happy to work with you to analyze your insurance coverage and assure that your coverage is sufficient to protect you. Then, in succeeding years, we will schedule an annual audit to review your policies in conjunction with your spring inventory update of your possessions.  Contact us now at our offices in Pleasanton, California.
