HOME WARRANTIES

What about home warranties? Are they available to sellers as well as buyers?

Yes they are, and they're worth investigating. It's our belief that the ERA® Home Protection Plan® is one of the best selling points you can add to your house. It's easy to see why. After a buyer has invested substantial funds in a down payment and moving expenses, the last thing they want to worry about is a costly home repair. With the ERA® Home Protection Plan®, they don't have to.

The warranty offers protection for you and your buyer, covering repair or replacement costs for breakdowns to most major systems and built-in appliances for up to a year after the date of closing. In many states, there is no additional cost to sellers who provide coverage for their buyers, except for a small deductible if you make a claim. And when you consider the peace of mind that comes with knowing 24-hour emergency service is always just a phone call away, it's hard to imagine a better investment.

Buyers want kitchens to be spotlessly clean and efficient, with as much counter space as possible.
