Home Warranty: Worth the Money?

It's not uncommon for sellers of many Columbia SC homes to offer a home warranty when selling. Buyers don't always realize how beneficial a home warranty can be, especially during that first year of owning a home. The buyer is usually covered for things such as the HVAC system, plumbing, appliances, etc., so if something goes wrong, the home warranty company pays for it to be repaired or replaced. It can be great peace of mind, but there also can be loopholes in your home warranty, so you need to read the fine print.

Stacy Johnson explains more about the things you need to do before you just accept a home warranty, or decide to buy one on your own (if the seller of the home you're buying doesn't offer one)…

We'd love to hear your feedback… have you, or someone you know, had a home warranty before, and if so, was a claim ever made, and did the home warranty company actually cover the loss? Tell us about your experiences with a home warranty in the comment section below.
