There is a difference between home insurance and home warranty as one of my previous articles explains.
Sometimes Homebuyers are Apprehensive.
And, let’s face it. Sometimes homebuyers are apprehensive.
They worry about the house they are buying, and they worry about the decision they are making and how much they are spending.
They worry if they are buying from a salesperson. They worry if they are buying from a FSBO.
What if there were an easy to make them worry less about YOUR house?

Well, there is. Put a warranty on it. Give them a year’s warranty without their even having to ask for it. Bingo.
I have been working with HMS, now Cinch, for many years, and the ability to provide this game-changing option is exactly what they bring to the table.
Besides, most buyers are already coming to you with a Realtor, and most agents will encourage their buyers to ask for a warranty anyway. So now you can just say “done!”
And as a plus, you get some coverage while we are on the market.
So text WARRANTY to 615-973-8970 and get a brochure to look at. It’s a smart move.
Homeowners, especially new owners, also may not realize they need to check their HVAC filters monthly, clean air vents, test a sump pump or cover outdoor air conditioning units in winter. An annual or twice-yearly HVAC inspection can keep it running more efficiently.
Annually, homeowners should drain the water heater, clean the clothes dryer exhaust, have a septic tank inspected and garage door springs lubricated.
Typical Lifespan of these Commonly Covered Items
Estimate the lifespan of appliances. Appliances may last longer if they’re carefully maintained or fail faster if used more frequently or neglected. For reference, the typical lifespan of these commonly covered items (source: The Spruce):
• Furnace: 15 to 20 years
• Heat pump: 16 years
• Air conditioning system: 10 to 15 years
• Tankless water heater: 20+ years
• Gas or electric standard water heater: 10 years
• Gas range: 15 years

• Microwave: 9 years
• Refrigerator: 13 years
• Dishwasher: 9 years
• Washing machine: 10 years
