For those who haven’t heard yet, American Home Shield claims to be a veteran company in the home warranty industry with over 45 years. They provide four comprehensive and customizable warranty plans.

A home warranty is an annual service contract that covers the cost to repair or replace parts of home appliances and systems that break down over time. With a Home Warranty, you pay a consistent monthly fee and a set Trade Service Call Fee when you request service.

This seems to be a very convenient service. Homeowners won’t have to deal with unexpected home issues. When a covered item breaks, you can request service online or by phone. A qualified local contractor shows up to diagnose and fix the problem for you. Sounds good and easy, right?

Personally, I’ve been selling this to my clients for years. After buying a fix and flip property, I decided to spend a few $$ for insurance with AHS and you won’t believe what happened.

Should you choose American Home Shield as a home warranty provider?

Well, AHS robbed me of nearly $1100 on a home warranty policy. Podcast rant on AHS. It happened to me, it can happen to you or your clients. Listen to my personal story!

Have you gone through a similar situation? I would love to read your stories as well. Hope you can share them in the comments section.
