Adding a home warranty to your listing adds confidence and might result in someone purchasing your home over a newer home. Many people are nervous about old appliances and fixtures, etc. Buyers are much more comfortable with a house that includes a one year warranty. The warranty can be promoted in the advertising as a drawing feature of the home. Offering a home warranty when you list your home has numerous advantages:

(1) Peace of Mind on covered items during the listing period at no additional cost.

(2) Competitive Edge over similar homes not offering a warranty.

(3) Reduces after-sale problems. If a covered system or appliance repair is needed, the Buyer calls the warranty company, not you!

(4)Pay at closing. There is no charge to the Seller until closing.

THE GRAY RIDER REAL ESTATE COMPANY strongly advocates putting an HMS Home Warranty on every home listed for sale.

Whether selling or buying a home, you can't predict when problems will arise. They seem to happen when you're least prepared. Unplanned home repair expenses ruin many family vacations and holidays, and put a tremendous strain on the family budget. An HMS Home Warranty gives you the protection you need. It covers breakdowns in major systems like plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, as well as washer, dryer, oven, refrigerator and other items. With so much that can go wrong - and often does -

an HMS Home Warranty gives you peace of mind.

Home Sellers

Not only are you covered as the seller of the home during the listing period, you are providing your buyer with peace of mind that if any covered system or component does break down in the year after purchase, they won't have to pay an arm and a leg to fix it, just a small deductible. Providing that peace of mind will also make your home more attractive to buyers, and therefore, will potentially help it sell faster.

Home Buyers

After you spend your savings to buy a house, then more money to make that house your home, you certainly don't want to face large, unexpected repair bills on one or more of the home's major systems and appliances! With an HMS Home Warranty, when something breaks down your expense is limited to a reasonable deductible. Consider these average repair costs:

Furnace: $1250-3500

Air Conditioning: $1500-2100

Oven/Range: $700-1400

Dishwasher: $500-700

Water Heater: $375-425
