Home Warranty: As a listing agent I provide a Seller and Buyer Coverage Home Warranty. The cost is recorder on the HUD1. Do you provide a Home Warranty at the closing?

People seldom value things they dont pay for, if they want a warranty they get to pay for it.

Sometimes I do, and sometimes settlement companies provide free home warranties. For example, CVTitle in Chantilly provides every buyer that closes with them a free First American Home Waranty.

I always recommend them. I don't "provide" them. I have my sellers provide them when we list and for buyers I write into the contract that the seller pay for a one year warranty. I've never had a deal go sour because a seller refused to pay.

No. In my area average sales price of a home is 150K. $400-500 home warranty is a HUGE closing gift ( I'm assuming you are doing it as a closing gift) in this part of GA.

Debbie, I have been doing this for years. I fully understand but I look at it this way; I can deduct from my income tax as a business expense.

I offer it to every buyer or seller but i do not fund these for either party. Our average sale price is $160,000 and it does not make financial sense to pay for that out of small commissions.
