Prudential
Floberg REALTORS® strongly advocates putting a home warranty
on every home listed for sale. It can help you accomplish a
faster sale
at a higher price.
What is a Home Warranty? It is a residential
service contract that helps protect the home owner in the
event of a mechanical
breakdown
of a covered component in the home during the periods the home
is listed and protects the home buyer for a year after closing.
Covered
components include major systems like heating and air-conditioning,
plumbing and electrical. It covers built-in appliances such
as the refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, water
heater,
etc.*
