Think Like A Buyer
Pretend for a moment you’re looking for a home. You’ve narrowed your search to two homes that are nearly identical except that one home has warranty protection and the other doesn’t. Which one would you choose? Which one would you be willing to pay more for?

 Six Ways A Home Warranty Can Help You Sell Your Home Faster and at a Higher Price

1. Makes your home more attractive to buyers: Eight out of ten buyers would prefer to buy a warranted home. (Gallup Poll)

2. Homes with a warranty sell faster: Up to 50% faster than unwarranted homes. (National Home Warranty Association)

3. Increases the chances of a higher selling price: Up to 3% more, on average, by making it a safer investment for the buyer. (Business Week)

4. Protects you against costly repairs on covered components while you home is listed for sale (subject to a deductible per trade call).

5. Reduces the chance of a delayed closing due to a conflict over a malfunctioning covered component.

6. Helps protect your sale proceeds by reducing the chance that you’ll be asked to reimburse the buyer for a breakdown of a covered component.

What is a home warranty plan? It is a residential service contract that helps protect the homeowner in the event of a mechanical breakdown of a covered component. The Home Warranty covers the home during the listing period and protects the home buyer for a year after the closing. Covered components include major systems such as heating and air conditioning (an additional fee is required for seller coverage), hot water heater, plumbing and electrical. It also covers built-in appliances such as the refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer.

The above provides only a brief description of the coverage and benefits of a home warranty. The home warranty is subject to the terms, conditions and provisions of the home warranty contract and a deductible per trade call.
