Buying or Selling a Home? Think About A Home Warranty

The benefits to having a home warranty include:

For the seller, listing your home with a home warranty could be the concession that draws a buyer to your home versus them purchasing a similar home of size and price that is without the offer. Also, most home warranty plans include a seller provision that provides the opportunity for the seller to have coverage on their home during the listing/sale period. This can be a great benefit to a seller when unexpected break downs occur to warranted items. One of the best advantages for a seller who provides a home warranty is the angry telephone call that never comes from the buyer, buyer’s agent or attorney when a warranted home item breaks down.

For the buyer, a home warranty adds extra insurance to their home inspection. A wise budget conscious buyer will understand that having a seller provide or the buyer obtaining their own home warranty prior to closing, can offset any mechanical surprises that may rear their ugly heads after the buyer moves in to his new home. Home warranties should never be used in place of a home inspection. However, coupled with a home inspection a home warranty can lesson the possibility of future stress to the homeowner.
