Home Warranty Insurances
What is a home warranty?
A home warranty is a
one year residential
service contract that
provides repair or replacement
coverage for the major
operating systems and
appliances in a home
that fail due to normal
wear and tear.
Home Buyers' Benefits
Move in with assurance
knowing your home is
covered.
-
You are covered for
unexpected home repair
or replacement costs
on many of your home's
major systems and appliances.
-
Coverage is regardless
of the appliances' age,
make or model.
-
If it can't be fixed,
it could be replaced
(* subject to terms
and conditions of a
policy).
-
It only takes a phone
call and a small service
fee to fix the problem.
-
Service is available
24 hours a day, 365
days a year.
-
You'll have budget protection
knowing you only have
to pay a nominal service
fee per trade call.
Home Sellers' Benefits
Sell with confidence.
-
Having a home warranty
as an additional feature
will give you a competitive
edge over other homes
on the market.
-
Buyers have more confidence
in your home and there
is usually less negotiating
in getting closer to
your asking price.
-
If something breaks
after the sale, there
is limited liability
for you. Buyers will
contact the warranty
company rather than
calling you.
-
Protect your budget,
one major breakdown
before or during the
sale of your home can
very costly and delay
things.
