What is a Home Warranty and Why its Worth Getting One

Posted in Home Buyers

First time home buyers are often lost when it comes to the various details of purchasing a new home, so some important services could get missed if you don’t educate yourself. One such service is a home warranty. Buying a home is expensive, likely to be the largest purchase of your lifetime, so it is important to protect your investment. A home warranty is a bit like an insurance policy, only it is purchased at the time of sale and it provides a more limited kind of coverage. The warranty pays for repair and replacement of household problems, generally at least for the first year of ownership, with the possibility of extension. Getting your home serviced simply involves calling the company that services your warranty, they will hire a repair person and charge you a per service fee, generally less than $100.00.
