How does a home warranty differ from homeowner’s insurance?

Your homeowner's policy is designed to cover hazards in your home such as theft and specific disasters. A home warranty plan, on the other hand, provides coverage for repairs to mechanical systems or appliances that break down due to normal wear and tear. Our home warranty protection and your homeowner's policy compliment each other and provide complete home coverage.

Warranty V. Insurance

Listing Coverage and/or Properties for Sale

A Blue Ribbon Home Warranty will protect sellers against possible repair or replacement costs on the home's mechanical systems and appliances. Studies show that homes, condominiums, townhomes, etc., that provide a home warranty usually sell 15% faster than properties without and can often increase the appraisal value of the home (Source: National Home Warranty Association).

A home warranty protection makes your home more attractive to potential buyers, especially if home systems, appliances and other items are aged. If two homes are equally attractive to a buyer, the one that offers a Home Warranty might come out on top. After your closing, buyers shouldn't come knocking on your door if something fails, but that doesn't mean they won't, especially if they feel you didn't disclose a defective or problem with a major appliance. A Home Warranty will provide you with peace of mind as your buyers will contact us, not you.

Blue Ribbon Home Warranty provides up to 6 months of coverage and sellers warranty may be extended at the sole discretion of Blue Ribbon Home Warranty, Inc. The seller home warranty will terminate upon transfer of title or cancellation of the listing contract. Upon transfer of title, the sellers home warranty will transfer, at no additional fee, to the purchaser for a term of fourteen (14) months, provided payment is received, within fifteen (15) days of the date of closing. During the listing period, if the Seller vacates the property, the property must be maintained with all utilities (i.e. water, electric, and gas service) on, or the home must be properly winterized/safeguarded to protect against frost or other damage that might occur when vacant. If these requirements are not met, coverage claim may be denied if a problem occurs.

A home warranty inspection can also be done at the beginning of the listing period to help ascertain the state of your home’s appliances and mechanical systems are in fact in good working order and is included in the cost of our warranty - pre-inspection information.

Home Buyers Advantages

Over two thirds of all properties have at least two major mechanical systems fail within the first three years following the purchase of a pre-owned home.  A Blue Ribbon Home Warranty provides peace of mind in the purchase process, knowing that wear and tear repairs and replacements are covered under your home warranty plan.

It's fair to say that your home is your most important purchase. However, you may have a tight budget after coming up with the funds required for closing. With so many of a home's systems hidden from view, it's easy to take them for granted until something fails. The last thing you want to do is pay to replace a costly appliance or major system. A Blue Ribbon Home Warranty is a buyer’s best defense against these unexpected expenses.

Anyone can pay for a Home Warranty. A seller or the real estate broker can offer it as part of a marketing package or a buyer and/or their Realtor can purchase it before or after closing. In fact, all parties can agree to share in the cost at closing!  It's easy to enroll, simply call us or apply online.
