How to sell your own home in six steps.

Customer Log-in
"..the few dollars spent on a home warranty was the smartest thing I did.."

A home warranty is a form of short term insurance to cover major appliances and systems while the home is for sale.
  • Builders always offer home warranties with new homes.
  • We recommend a warranty for older homes as an inexpensive way to make prospective buyers feel comfortable with the age of appliances, plumbing, etc.

If you buy a Seller's warranty: Advertise the fact !

Seller's Warranty:   Paid for by the Seller.
Cost: $300 - $400: Insurance to cover following items while home is for sale.

Selling a house by sprucing up the interior

  • Major appliances
  • The plumbing system
  • Electrical system
  • Heating and air conditioning
  • Will repair or replace the above (with a deductible of $50-$60).
Home Warranty of America offers a Seller's warranty at zero cost to the Seller during the listing period. Payment is due at closing when the policy converts to a one year Buyer's warranty.  In most cases the Seller includes the cost of the warranty in the purchase price. 


Buyer's Warranty:   Paid for by the Buyer.

Cost: $300 - $400: Covers same items as a Seller's Warranty, but starts on day of closing and lasts for a full year. Can be renewed each year.
