Just imagine it- you finally finish moving in to your beautiful new home. The charming colonial with a huge yard, beautiful high ceilings, a pristine wrap around porch, and state-of-the-art energy saving appliances. It’s the perfect home-
until it isn’t.
Six months later you find out the foundation is crumbling. The soil it was built on is sliding downhill. When it rains, it pours- onto your brand new couch. Duct tape is the only thing holding the beam in your attic above your head. That beautiful wraparound deck is being supported by a stack of tires. Your hose spout is placed directly above the fuse box. While we wish these were all exaggerations, every example above is an actual situation that skilled inspectors were able to catch; and the list goes on and on, but you get the point. If you’d had a home inspection, these would only be nightmares. But because you wanted to save a dime or two, these terrors will be on your mind night and day.
It’s every homeowner’s worst nightmare: making one of the biggest investments of your life only to find out you didn’t get what you paid for. It’s easy then to blame it on the previous homeowners, but whose fault is it really? Enter AmeriSpec- the company is one of NextHome Element Realty’s premier choices in home inspection services- and we’ll tell you why even our realtors use them for their own home purchases.

tandard. Plus, when you’re in escrow, you don’t have time to make an appointment and wait weeks for someone to come out: AmeriSpec understands that and makes every process as quick as possible.

Fine– maybe it’s not a secret anymore, but you’d still be shocked by how many homeowners don’t have proper homeowner’s insurance. Fortunately, it’s become standard operating procedure for obtaining mortgages. Your home is probably the biggest investment you’ll make in your life- so wouldn’t you want some protection for it? Chances are, your standard policy will include wind, hail, fire, and theft- mostly for things that would occur suddenly and be accidental. However, a sudden roof collapse from old age would likely not be covered. Then what?
