Home Warranties for the WIN!

Buying a home is a lot like becoming a parent. None of us actually know what we are doing! We just keep faking it until we get it. Millennials are beginning to buy homes and they may be able to work their way through any software program, but it’s definitely different when trying to figure out what to do when something doesn’t work in your home! Whether you are buying your first home or selling your starter home it is always good to check out what a home warranty has to offer you!

A home warranty is an insurance policy that protects you when things in your home wear out or break such as large appliances, air conditioner or furnace. You can even add on other items like your pool, spa, or irrigation system. Many of us today have some basic ‘know how’, like how to change light bulbs. We tend to Google how to do something if we have never done it before. There are some things we should definitely leave to the professionals!

While we are not quite Millennials but not quite Gen X, we have a decent grasp on home ownership, having bought 4 different homes over the last couple of decades; it was new to me that this kind of insurance even existed! While learning everything about a new town it was nice to know that I do not have to figure out how to fix my homes appliances when they break down. That was just one more thing I could take off my list of things to do! That list is LONG by the way! I am glad I know I don’t have to figure all this house stuff out on my own!

The cost for a home warranty is roughly $35 a month give or take depending on where you live, whether or not you have a service call fee, or if you add additional coverage to the policy.
