Home warranties can be included in sale transactions of resale and new homes to protect the buyer against the high costs of unexpected failures in the home's major systems and appliances. Make sure you ask your Realtor® to include it in your offer to purchase.
By covering major home systems and appliances, a Home Protection Plan can help make buying or selling a home a more rewarding experience. We will give you several home warranty company brochures in our free Home Buyer's Package so you can review them.
Home Buyer Benefits:
- coverage for one year of unexpected repair or replacement costs of many of your home's
major systems and appliances.
- local certified contractors are available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year
- you only pay for the service fee per trade call in most situations.
Home Seller's Benefit:
- peace of mind so that you are not held liable for any systems that may breakdown after you move
- Make sure to check the home warranty contract and policy for what is covered.
Prices vary between $245 to $600 or more depending upon what is covered with the options. Your Realtor® will provide you with several companies for you to choose from. Here are a few of the most popular companies:
