Fannie Mae Sold me a house that support beam is rotted and split. House is going to collapse. Atlanta GA
Report Attachments
Fannie Mae sold me a home almost 5 years ago. The home is only 13 years old. Found that previous to me purchasing the home the house has been leaking sewage between the walls. An engineer stated not only that leak but a leak from the flashing on the roof which is another leak that had made the support beam rot and split.
My insurance will not cover the leak from the roof. By the look of the beam, this leak has probably been going on since the construction. So if this leak was before I purchased the home, that would make the house 8 years old which is definitely not my issue but no one wants to take responsibility and my house is literally standing by a thread.
I worked with the realtor Ashley Augustin and as a first time home buyer, I trusted him. He is the one who brought in the inspector to inspect but I guess he never bothered to look at the structure. When I purchased the home the floor was warped. So that alone tells me this was going on before me. Please help me!

I purchased the home from Fannie Mae. I got the loan from someone else. My paperwork says it was purchased and county records show I purchased it from Fannie Mae. So please explain it again?

Fannie Mae provides financing for houses to make it easier for people to afford a house...they DO NOT sell houses.
The issue here is if it truly was a prexisting condition is with the inspector and possibly the realtor. If you can prove that this is something that the inspector should have brought up you may have a case against them.
Unfortunatly this will most likely require you getting an attorney, and you may or may not be able to find one who will work on a contingency basis. If that doesn't work, you may look into one of your local legal aid society and see if they can provide any assistance.
