HOME WARRANTY

usually provides to the Buyer at the close of escrow to guard the buyer
from any large “systems” expenditures during their first year of
ownership. This is also good for the Seller as it reduces the likelihood
of the buyer calling to complain about a broken or malfunctioning
alliance, pipe, wire, etc after the escrow has bee closed. This will also
cover the Seller for the time they are on the market through Celebration
Day.
