How do I present an inventory to an insurance adjuster?

What to provide an adjuster for fast claims processing

Clear, well-organized documentation speeds an insurance adjuster’s review. Provide concise reports, photos, and receipts grouped logically to make verification straightforward.

What to include:

  • A PDF export or printed report with items grouped by room or category
  • Photos showing the item and serial numbers or unique marks
  • Receipts, appraisals, and proof of purchase attached or referenced

Presentation tips:

  • Highlight high-value losses and attach supporting documents
  • Give a simple summary page with total claimed value and contact details
  • Keep digital copies ready to email and physical copies for in-person meetings

Communication tips:

  • Be honest and precise about item condition prior to loss
  • Keep a log of communications, claim numbers, and adjuster names

A clear, consistent package of evidence reduces back-and-forth and helps claims proceed more quickly and accurately.
