A home warranty is a service contract, normally for one year, which provides for the repair or replacement of residential home heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and water heating systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear, regardless of age, make, or model. Making contact with the company is easy, and best of all they use professional local technicians to guarantee prompt service.

Think of it like this:

For the Seller: The policy I found will cover your home from the day it's listed, that way if something goes wrong while the home is listed, there will be no out of pocket loss for the seller. Replacing a broken refrigerator does not add on value, a refrigerator is something the buyer usually expects to see included, therefore that sort of unexpected expense becomes a total loss to the seller. Not only does the warranty give protection, but it's a proven fact that it will help sell your home, quicker and for top dollar. Buyers will be attracted to the security, knowing that they don't have to worry about significant home repair in that first year. What a marketing tool!

And why not?..

For the Buyer: The advantages are equally as obvious. They've just made one of the most significant investments of their lives, written a down payment check which is probably one of the biggest checks they've ever written, and now they have to worry about the furnace going out. Imagine how excited they will be to know that they have been wrapped in this blanket of security at no expense to them for one full year.

Finally the thing that makes a home warranty so great is that it's referred to as a value added item. We have taken a good and valuable commodity and added value at no expense to either party. Is it Christmas yet or what?
