buying a house?
...............................................................................

congratulations!

Buying a home is one of the biggest investment decisions people ever make. Most people push their financial resources to the limit in order to get into their new home. Surprise repairs of existing appliances add to the financial burden. A home inspection establishes that the built-in appliances (furnace, air conditioner, dishwasher, range, or water heater) in the home are working at the time of the inspection. A home warranty can further protect the homeowner in the first six or twelve months should problems arise with these appliances.

When buying an older home the assumption is that the appliances are also older. The buyer can negotiate for a lower selling price to compensate for the older appliances, or ask the seller to replace the older appliances. However, the buyer can also ask the seller to purchase a Complete Appliance Protection ® (CAP) home warranty to protect against the risk of appliances failing after moving into the home. Many times the seller will agree to pay for the CAP home warranty because it is the most cost effective solution.
