Home Warranty Plans

Home Warranty Plans are an exceptional way to eliminate unexpected expenses when buying or selling a home.  The purpose of a home warranty program is:

• Peace of mind to protect against unexpected repair or replacement costs.
• Prevents unexpected costs on covered systems due to unknown conditions.
• Convenient for the buyer to request service on items and systems covered

Home Warranties do not cover pre-existing conditions or abuse as determined by the provider of the Home Warranty Plan.  Warranty Companies will make a determination of the cause of the problem and determine if the conditions of the warranty plan qualify for reimbursement.

The following companies have developed excellent reputations for providing good home warranty services.  Website links have been provided for your inspection and review.  Please compare the plans, items and systems covered, financial limits of coverage, and the costs of each plan. 

Home Warranty Plans are for one year (renewable if desired) and are paid for in advance of service, normally at the closing of the purchase transaction.
