Understanding the Importance of Home Warranty
Why would someone need a home warranty?
The agent's best response to Lamar's question about the need for a home warranty would be:
- A home warranty covers things the inspection didn't address, like appliances, as well as structural issues that occur within the first year.
- The inspection is only as good as the inspector, and there is no guarantee that the inspector found all potential issues.
- A home warranty offers additional protection against unexpected repair costs for major systems and appliances in a home, covering potential issues not identified during the home inspection or issues that develop over time.
Understanding the Role of Home Warranty
A home warranty offers additional protection against unexpected repair costs for major systems and appliances in a home, covering potential issues not identified during the home inspection or issues that develop over time.
Explanation: In response to Lamar's question about the need for a home warranty, it's important to understand the different roles of the home inspection and the warranty. The home inspection is indeed a crucial part of the home buying process, and it can identify many potential issues with a property. However, it cannot guarantee there won't be any problems in the future. It typically covers the repair or replacement of major home systems and appliances that fail due to normal wear and tear, meaning it can cover issues that weren’t detected during the home inspection or that develop over time. It's like an insurance policy against unexpected and costly repairs.
