Buying a home is often the most expensive decision you will ever make, and most buyers feel more comfortable with their purchase when it’s paired with a home warranty. Here are a few questions you should consider before settling on a home warranty:

Who Is Paying For It?

Sellers are sometimes willing to cover the cost of a home warranty for the first year of the buyers’ homeownership.

If not and you decide to foot the bill for a home warranty, I suggest you shop around before making a final decision. You may find a more affordable plan or flexible options for adding or removing coverage.

What Does it Cover?

Like other types of warranties, a home warranty isn’t intended to cover every aspect of a property. You should carefully review the conditions of the warranty before purchasing one. These conditions may exclude certain appliances, restrict coverage, or make the homeowners prove they followed manufacturers’ maintenance plans. It’s also possible that other types of coverage, like manufacturers’ warranties for specific appliances, are better options in the long run.

Who Chooses the Repair Tech?

Most home warranty companies contract 3rd parties to do repairs or they employ their own licensed technicians, so you will not have a choice in who makes repairs or replacements, unless you do the repair outside the home warranty.
