Sound Off: Home Warranties Can Be Worth The Cost

July 17, 2017

A home warranty covers the cost to repair or replace appliances and systems within a home and is a wise choice for anyone buying a property! The plan is far less expensive than purchasing extended warranties on your appliances, and you can have the electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems covered as well. For a nominal fee, the plan will have a reputable service provider come out to repair or replace what’s broken, and you never even receive a bill! Most home buyers are cash poor for awhile and in San Francisco are usually buying older homes, so not only is a home warranty very affordable, but also it’s likely to be used. It’s even a good idea for a home seller to buy a plan for the buyer, since most issues that arise after a sale are because something wasn’t disclosed or something breaks shortly after the sale. It’s more effective to purchase a plan for 2 or 3 years, but covering at least the first year is a no-brainer. My very first client used the plan I bought him to have his garbage disposal fixed shortly after his purchase. Comparing the cost to the benefits, you can’t go wrong with a home warranty plan.
