Smart Moves Real Estate’s Buyer Rebate
For The Smart Buyer Rebate I will make sure the buyer is provided an American Home Shield home warranty at closing either through negotiations or I will pay for it myself. If you are Active Duty Military ask me about my Military rebate - I can usually meet or beat USAA's mover's advantage.
Your home is most likely one of your biggest investments. Unexpected repair or replacement costs can easily strain your budget. Plus, finding an approved and insured contractor to solve your problem can be stressful and inconvenient. A home warranty cannot prevent systems or appliances from breaking down, but it can help make covered repairs or replacement easier and less costly.
The last thing a home buyer wants to worry about after closing is what could possibly break or malfunction in their new home. Since that can cover a multitude of items and systems, for peace of mind, it's a good idea to get a home protection plan. It's especially a good idea to obtain a home warranty if you're a first-time home buyer with no experience maintaining a home.
What is a Home Warranty?
A home warranty is a service contract, normally for one year, which helps protect home owners against the cost of unexpected covered repairs or replacement on their major systems and appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. Coverage is for systems and appliances in good working order at the start of the contract.
Check your home warranty policy to see which of the following items are covered. Also find out if the policy covers the full replacement cost of an item.
· Plumbing
· Electrical systems
· Furnace
· Water heater
· Heating ducts
· Water pump
· Dishwasher
· Garbage disposal
· Stove/cook top/ovens
· Microwave
· Refrigerator
