🛡️ What Is a Home Warranty?

A home warranty is a service contract that helps cover the cost of repairing or replacing major home systems and appliances that may break down due to normal wear and tear—think HVAC, water heaters, kitchen appliances, and more. It’s designed to give homeowners peace of mind after moving in, especially during the first year of ownership.

✅ Choosing the Right Home Warranty

While selecting a home warranty is optional, it’s highly recommended—especially for first-time buyers or homes with older systems. Below are a few tips to help you choose the right coverage:

Review Coverage Carefully: Not all warranties are created equal. Some plans cover only basic systems, while others may include appliances, pools, and even roof leak repairs.

Check Service Fees: Many companies charge a service fee (like a co-pay) for each technician visit. These vary by company.

Confirm Provider Coverage Area: Be sure the provider you choose services the area where the home is located.

Price Limits: Keep in mind, the amount listed in the sales contract sets a cap on the seller-paid warranty. If your chosen plan exceeds this amount, the overage will be your responsibility.

📩 Important: How to Finalize Your Warranty Choice

Once you’ve selected your home warranty provider and plan, please notify me directly with your decision.

⚠️ It is best if you do not contact the warranty company yourself to purchase the Warranty. As your Realtor, I’ll coordinate everything with the Title company and Warranty company to ensure it's properly included in your closing documents and paid by the seller—when applicable—at settlement. However, please don't hesitate to contact them with additional questions you might have if the answer is not located on their website.
