A home warranty offers many advantages to home buyers and sellers, the least of which is a peace of mind that most major home appliances are covered in the event of a break down. Most home warranties cover both parts and labor of a home’s most vital systems and major appliances. This protects the home seller from potentially large, unexpected repair bills and also allows the buyer to purchase the home with more confidence. Additionally, a home warranty is usually for the term of at least one year, so any unforeseen repairs/replacements are also covered well after the home has been sold.

 

John L. Scott clients are entitled to free home warranty coverage from American Home Shield during the term of their listing. This means that all items that are protected by the home warranty will be repaired or replaced for only a modest service fee. Furthermore, sellers have the option to purchase an extended home warranty from American Home Shield for the buyer of their home. This demonstrates a high level of trust and confidence to potential buyers.
