Home Protection Programs
Information About Home Protection Programs
If you are currently buying or selling a home and are interested in a home warranty, please have your real estate agent order it for you.
What is a Home Protection Program?
A residential service contract company or home warranty company offers contracts to maintain, repair, or replace all or any part of appliances, structural components, electrical, plumbing, heating, or air conditioning systems of residential property. A residential service contract traditionally offers a home warranty to the buyer or seller of an existing home in conjunction with the sale or purchase of the property (usually for a term of one year). The real estate broker or salesperson acts as an agent of the residential service company in presenting the warranty to the buyer or seller. Residential service contracts protect homeowners against the cost of unexpected covered repairs or replacements on their major systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear.
Choosing A Provider
The base and optional programs vary from provider to provider. I suggest that my clients carefully review the base programs along with each program upgrade and specific coverage's and costs of plans and select the one that best suits your particular home and situation. If you have additional questions on particular plans we can put you in touch with representatives from the appropriate companies.
