What is the value of Seller coverage when a home is being sold?

Seller coverage helps differentiate agents by providing budget protection for Sellers during the listing period. It also protects transactions against unexpected breakdowns—which could reduce closing delays and post-closing risks for all parties—and could add value to the Buyer’s offer via complimentary Seller coverage. Seller coverage is complimentary, where allowed by law. Simply present the 2-10 HBW Home Warranty Service Agreement for consideration to all parties in the transaction. For more information on why a home warranty is important for the Buyer, Seller, and even the real estate agent, go to our Real Estate Warranty page.

What is the value of Buyer coverage when a home is being sold?

A systems and appliances home warranty is one of the best forms of budget protection to guard Buyers, and their largest investment, from unexpected breakdowns. For more information on why a home warranty is important for the Buyer, Seller, and even the real estate agent, go to our Real Estate Professional page.

When is my client’s home warranty active?

Buyer coverage begins at the close of sale or when the coverage is purchased, whichever is later, and continues for one year from that date. Seller coverage, where allowed by law, is for the listing period and begins immediately upon notification of enrollment.

Who pays for the home warranty when a home is sold?

The home warranty may be paid for by the agent, Buyer, or Seller. Typically paid with funds collected at closing, the Home Warranty Service Agreement may also be purchased for up to 30 days post-closing.
