Here is a list of phone numbers to help you in your move! How To Choose a HOME INSPECTION Company Not all home inspection companies are created equal. The company you select should stand behind their inspector's work. Ask your soon-to-be inspection some questions - Does your company stand behind your inspection report? Are inspectors certified? Is the company Insured? The home inspection company you choose should encourage your attendance on the inspection and should provide an on-site report on the findings of the inspection. Your inspection report should give the approximate age of all the major elements of the home as well as an estimated life span of those elements. | • | AmeriSpec

Insurance >Home Warranties
You have just found a new home that you love and are planning to place your current home on the market. When the day arrives for your first open house, you begin to think of all of the things that could break down or go wrong. The air conditioner may stop working or your trusty old dishwasher might "bite the dust" the morning that the structural inspection is scheduled. Purchasing home warranty protection is one way to reduce these worries for you and your buyer.
The most popular warranty plans cover the home from the time it is listed until one year after the closing date. Although the details of these policies vary, there is usually a standard deductible of $35 to $100 (this amount differs from state to state). Many sellers purchase these warranties to make their property more attractive to potential buyers and to limit their liability in the event that a problem is discovered after the closing.
