Why is offering a home warranty so important when selling your home? In addition to helping you get top dollar for your house, there are three major benefits to offering a home warranty:

1. Offering a home warranty will separate you from your competition. If there is a house for sale down the street from yours that does not offer a home warranty, the buyer will be uneasy about purchasing that house. When buyers look at your house, the home warranty will give them peace of mind.
   
   
2. Home warranties cover all major mechanical issues. Buyers will be covered if any issues arise during the listing period and one year after closing.
   
   
3. Offering a home warranty allows you to compete with new construction homes. All new home builders offer at least a one-year home warranty at least. If you want to compete with new construction homes, you need to offer a home warranty.

If you are thinking about selling your house, we can go over the warranty and tell you what the coverage is and how much it costs. Most home warranties only cost a few hundred dollars.
