Tips to Maximize your Home Warranty

  1. Always contact your home warranty company before you call a licensed professional. I have heard many homeowners complain that they had a professional out to service the covered item just to then find out the warranty company will not pay the bill. The warranty provider must open the claim first and then let you know who you can call for service in order for the services to be covered. 
  2. Ask the warranty provider about ALL options before deciding how you want to address the issue i.e. in some cases you may have a “buy out” available that allows you to utilize your preferred vendors at a lower cost to repair. Be sure the warranty company will still cover the replaced item.
  3. If offering a home warranty as part of your home sale take advantage of programs that will cover your home while you have it on the market. Ask your realtor for more information.
  4. Carefully consider the warranty coverage and options for upgraded plans against costs & deductibles. Some plans provide for energy efficiency upgrades to appliances, HVAC, etc. if replacement is needed.

The Role of a Real Estate Agent in Buying or Selling a Property When it comes to buying or selling a property, a real estate agent plays a crucial role in guiding and assisting clients throughout the entire process.
