Why a Listing Agent Should Buy a Home Warranty
Sellers can rest easy knowing that their major appliances will be fully covered during the listing period. A study by the Service Industry Council found that properties that come with a home warranty typically sell for $2,300 more and 11 days faster than homes without a warranty.
A home warranty for real estate agents can also attract a specific type of audience: first-time buyers. They’re more likely to buy a home that includes a sellers home warranty, since they have less experience and don’t want to worry about these expenses, especially after just buying their new home. Real estate warranty plans give buyers the peace of mind they deserve so they can focus on the more important things that come along with the purchase of a new home. First-time buyers haven’t yet experienced the large appliance repairs that come along with owning a home and are looking for any safety net they can get. A Liberty Home Guard may keep those first time buyers from feeling as if the responsibility of owning a home is too much for them.
