Home Warranties

Ask your RE/MAX agent about the availability of a home warranty insurance program. A home warranty policy protects you from the expense of major repair or replacement caused by unexpected mechanical failure of a major system or appliance. For a moderate premium, payable at closing, you can acquire a policy which protects you for one full year after closing from major repair or replacement bills.

Home inspections are practically a given these days when it comes to buying a property. In some cases, though, an inspection may not be sufficient in providing a complete evaluation.

To ensure that the buyer is making the right decision, he or she should visit the house and give it a workout - including flushing the toilets, turning on the lights, and running the water. Buyers should also visit at different times of the day to listen for traffic or noise.

Finally, prospective bidders should contact the city where the home is located to check on the permits for additions like patios and basements to be sure that they meet safety code standards.
