I never thought to keep a home inventory until after we were burglarized. This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by HomeZada. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic. Yes, I am still talking about our home invasion. It was an enormous eye-opener for us and we are still learning quite a bit from it. Keeping an inventory of items in our home was certainly never on our minds until now.
Home Inventory with HomeZada
After our house was robbed it was definitely hard to figure out everything that was missing. Not that we have an obscene amount of things, it's just that there are items you don't think of on a daily basis. Of course, we checked for any known valuables right away, but there were a few little things that went unnoticed until well after the police report was done. For example, I had an older iPod that I didn't realize was taken until just a few weeks ago. Clearly, I didn't miss it much, but it's something we didn't tell the police about.
HomeZada is an excellent way to keep track of many things regarding your property, inventory being one of them. At first I thought this might be an extremely overwhelming task, but HomeZada makes it easy for you. They provide a breakdown of the rooms in your house. You can add fixed items, possessions, and even attach photos if you choose. There's a spot for values and the option to upload documents. I cannot even tell you how amazing this would have been after our break-in.
There are many other valuable features on the HomeZada website. Right on the dashboard it gives you notices and recommendations. Like on my account it says to inspect exterior siding, deck and trim. Good idea, thanks. Also, it suggests that we should clean and condition our grill. Done and done. 😉
Planning projects is another useful feature on HomeZada. It can help you create a wishlist and budget your home improvements. Basically, this site is really flipping cool for homeowners! They even have a smartphone app.
There's a free package available, but you won't want to miss out on the HomeZada premium perks for only $5.95 per month.

I have tried doing a home inventory and never even got close to finishing. I think I would with HomeZada. Yes , it will still take time to organize everything and upload the pictures and documents, but having an iPhone to do it will be so helpful. Thank you, Jennifer for telling us about it and for the giveaway.

I like how I could use it for home project budgeting. Thats been the hardest part of working on our home is outlining how much it will cost AND sticking to it.
Jacob LaFountaine says
I like it has apps for both iphone, ipad and android
Laurie says

Living in Florida I always get anxious when the hurricane season hits, I have pictures of everything and receipts but it’s all in different places, so disorganized. I’d love to be able to have it all in one place with HomeZada. Thank you for the review, this is exactly what I need to be prepared if something unfortunate were to happen. I also love the maintenance reminders….since my husband is deployed right now, it’s all on me to do the maintenance around the house, there’s a lot that I don’t remember and I don’t want to bother him with questions.

Documents, documents documents piles and piles of them every where. Looking here looking there. Never in one place so yes Home document system is needed over here

I would love the Home Finance. I could really use the Home Remodel Cost since we are in the process of remodeling our basement and our bathroom.

My favorite feature of HomeZada is that you can use it to keep track of your finances. You can actually use it to forecast your spending over time and document your possessions.
Ann Bacciaglia says
That is a great idea! I would have no idea where to start if someone robbed my house. Thank you so much for sharing.
Sue Hull says
I never think of using something like this but as you said neither did you until you were robbed. I like that I can keep track of everything I have not just the big more expensive stuff. This is such a great website,definitely going to go back to it later and tell my family about it. I actually need to get renters insurance too. Thank you for the really awesome giveaway 🙂

Would love to give it a try and see if we can keep track of some of our personal things.Like the home Inventory.
Ancilla Jagdeo says
My favorites woudl be the alerts(very absent minded) and the ability to manage and keep up my homes budgets and expenses. I would enjoy using this because I rarely keep track of things like this, it would be good to see where everything is going.
