Who Pays for the Home Warranty - The Buyer or Seller?
A real estate agent will recommend a home warranty to a buyer or seller based on their specific needs and help facilitate the process.
Benefits of a Home Warranty for Buyers
If a buyer loves a particular house but is concerned about the condition of the home’s systems and appliances, or if the home inspector notes that certain systems and appliances aren’t going to last much longer, the benefits of a home warranty can offer a great way to give your client peace of mind.
A home warranty provides assurance that when a covered breakdown occurs, American Home Shield will cover the cost and find the right Pro to make the repair. Home buyers can also roll the annual cost for their home warranty into their closing fees, and coverage will begin on the day of closing.
In addition to important budget protection for covered items, home warranties can serve as a reliable resource for repair help, saving your clients time and frustration when unexpected breakdowns happen.

Benefits of a home warranty for sellers
The seller may offer a home warranty as an incentive to make their property more attractive to buyers. It gives potential buyers confidence that they have coverage for system and appliance breakdowns for one year, with the option to renew their home warranty plan annually. It also gives sellers peace of mind that if a covered system or appliance breaks down during the selling period, we’ll handle the repair costs for covered items.
