Why do we include FREE Home Warranties with our listings? Pretty simple: everyone benefits!
Especially when it comes to resales, a home warranty makes almost any listing more attractive and adds value as well.
I remember when we moved into our home, the first thing to break was the water pump, then we needed a new pool pump, then the dishwasher stopped working. |

We did not have a home warranty and we weren't too happy to have to replace those appliances shortly after we purchased our first home. Especially for First Time Home Buyers there are plenty of expenses they might not have budgeted for: pool maintenance, larger utility bills, lawn mower etc. Giving them a home warranty gives peace of mind. They will not have to worry about paying for costly appliance repairs or even replacements.
The seller benefits because his home comes with a warranty! It builds rapport with the buyer and because the warranty "can be" upgraded, it can be used as a negotiating tool as well.
Yes, we pay for the home warranty! Depending on what company you are working with, the cost will probably range between $300 and $400.
We don't believe the home warranty actually sells the home, but it provides for additional advertising avenues, it's a FREE bonus to buyers and sellers as well. Our clients love them and we're more than happy to provide them.

Home warranties are usually included for free, but if not, you really should make sure that you get one to protect yourself.
I've seen most of the listings in my market without a free home warranty to the buyer.
