Amid Bleak Economic News, KC Home Inventory Advises Safeguarding Assets
LEAWOOD, Kan., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke revealed the nation's economic recovery is weaker than expected. A new report from the Mortgage Bankers' Association also showed the number of people falling behind on their mortgage payments for the first time is now on the rise. The economy, it may be safe to say, is not yet recovering, and that means it's more important than ever to protect physical assets, says Rick Bell, founder of the Kansas City-area KC Home Inventory (http://www.kchomeinventory.com).
Bell, who has been providing premium home inventory services through KC Home Inventory since 1993, said safeguarding physical assets -- personal property like cars, jewelry, art and collections -- starts with knowing exactly what one owns.
"Too often, people are unable to provide detailed, itemized lists to their insurance companies when disaster strikes and their personal property is stolen or damaged. That significantly slows down the insurance claims process," said Bell. "A complete inventory helps homeowners and renters determine whether their insurance coverage is adequate before anything happens."
Many people are unaware they don't have to accept an insurance company's offer if they feel it's too low. They do, however, have to back up their claim for a higher amount with detailed documentation -- and that's where an itemized home inventory, complete with photographs, can be invaluable.
Preparing that inventory, on the other hand, is a daunting task for even the most meticulous homeowners and renters. Fortunately, inventory professionals like Bell and his team at KC Home Inventory can make the process simple. A confidential, professionally prepared home inventory takes the guesswork out of inventorying one's assets and provides the peace-of-mind that comes with being prepared for the unexpected.
"Most people spend their lives accumulating items of value, whether that value is financial or sentimental," said Bell. "Not many of us, however, could name all the items in every nook and cranny of our homes, especially in a stressful situation like a fire, natural disaster or a burglary. Having a professional come in and systematically list every possession in an insurance-friendly format lifts that burden from the homeowner's or renter's shoulders and ensures assets can be fully restored should the need ever arise."
