How Home Warranties Work
A home warranty can be a valuable selling tool, especially in markets like Calabasas and Hidden Hills. It gives buyers peace of mind by covering major systems and appliances during the first year of ownership. The Improta Team helps clients compare top warranty providers, understand what’s included, and manage the process from start to finish.
Home warranties typically cover essentials like HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, water heaters, and kitchen appliances. While they don’t replace homeowner insurance, they do protect against breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear—something many buyers appreciate when moving into a new home.
For sellers, offering a warranty can reduce post-closing issues. If something fails after the buyer moves in, the warranty company handles the repair, which helps prevent disputes and keeps the transaction smooth.
Upgraded plans are also available for luxury properties, covering pools, spas, high-end appliances, and smart-home features.
With the right home warranty in place, buyers feel reassured, sellers feel protected, and the entire closing process benefits from fewer surprises.
