At Collectify, Ms. Novak’s official chief organizing duties will focus on helping people understand how to organize and protect their personal belongings by conducting a simple home inventory. With Collectify Home Inventory™ and your digital camera, you can store photos of every object you own, save digital copies of all your warranties and receipts, and keep important property records and personal documents safe and secure. As insurance experts attest, the fastest way to recover from any loss is to have adequate
insurance and an up-to-date home inventory. With Collectify Home Inventory™, you can access and prepare claims with unprecedented ease.

Mr. Silverstone extolled the benefits of protecting homes in an age when people have witnessed some of the largest storm and natural disaster damage in national history. Mr. Silverstone said, "We cannot stop Mother Nature, but we can give everyone peace of mind. We're proud to be a renowned software company that has long been entrusted with the important duty of organizing and protecting some of the world’s finest collections of art and antiques. We have extended our ground-breaking technology to organize and protect home possessions with the same caliber of care." He said. "With the help of Jamie Novak, one of the world's leading authorities in home organization, Collectify is taking a proactive approach to educating consumers. With Jamie’s own brand of humor, warmth, and how-to skills, it’s easy to inspire and motivate men, women, couples and families to take a fresh look at how important—and easy—it is to catalog and protect their treasured belongings and important documents by creating a home inventory.”

Ms. Novak maintains that keeping a record of household items is crucial. She said, “My personal mission is to change lives by simplifying and organizing the places where
people live and work. When I look at your home or workspace, I see much more than items that need to be organized—I see valuables that must be protected from loss.
Collectify has made home inventory a breeze. It has never been simpler to organize and protect everything you care about, locate valuable documents, and even to make
important decisions about estate planning.”
