Here’s what buyers and sellers need to know about home warranties.

Today we’re glad to be joined by Molly Stewart from Home Warranty of America. She’s saved us

a ton of money, so we couldn’t be happier to talk to her. We had a great conversation about

what she does and what she can do for you, so let’s get into it. 


"If you have a warranty when you list, buyers will have peace of mind."

What do you do for Home Warranty of America, and what can you do for our buyers and sellers?


We have been around since 1996, and our main product offers buyers and sellers 13 months of coverage. For those 13 months, we cover plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, cooling, and heating. If you move into your home and things start to fail for whatever reason, you can put in a claim, and we’ll send a contractor to your house to diagnose the problem. Depending on what’s wrong, we’ll cover up to $5,000 for your HVAC and $15,000 for claims. 


It’s clear why buyers should have a home warranty, but why should sellers get one? 


We offer a product called Free Seller’s Coverage that covers sellers during the listing period for up to $1,500. When buyers tour your home, your Realtor can give out cards informing people that your house is covered. This will give your buyers the peace of mind they might need to make an offer. 


We’d like to thank Molly once again for speaking with us today. We’re big believers in home warranties; they’ve saved us a ton of money over the years. Even on new construction homes, the inspection always reveals little issues. With a warranty, you don’t have to worry about any of them spiraling into something bigger. 


If you want to reach out to Molly, give her a call at 847-943-7117. As always, if you have any questions related to real estate, please call or email us. We’re always willing to help.
