RSS FeedProtect Your Investment with an AON Sellers Home Warranty |
Sep. 1, 2006
Categorized in: Marketing
Homes know when you're moving. It may not be as obvious as the look on your pets' face as you are leaving on vacation - the sidelong glances, not wanting to make eye contact while making sure that you know that they know what you're doing - but homes know when you are moving. Inanimate objects they may be, but they know.
Before you dismiss this notion as the deranged ramblings of a Realtor driven mad by the market, think back on the homes you have owned and attempted to sell. The key to selling, of course, is for the home to be in as-close-to-perfect condition when the right buyer comes through the front door. And so, naturally, your home will try to sabotage the viewing by being in less than perfect condition.
Maybe a small plumbing leak will start. Or maybe an electrical outlet will decide to call it a day. Perhaps the air conditioner will quit. Or maybe the dishwasher decides the time has come for the engine to burn out.
And in all of these circumstances, you - the erstwhile former homeowner to be - gets to foot the bill to repair something on a house you already have vacated, at least in your heart if not in reality. If only there was an easier, less expensive way ...
There is.
Tobey and I, working in conjunction with Century 21 Arizona Foothills and AON, offer sellers' home warranty coverage on all of our listings. All of the major mechanical items, excluding the air conditioning, are covered under this FREE warranty for the first 90 days of any listing (and possibly longer, if necessary.) And the air conditioning can be added for only $75.
With the home warranty in place, the only expense comes if a service call is necessary and then the cost will only be $70, a far sight lower than a full-fledged repair on a major mechanical system.
What's the catch? In accepting the seller warranty, the homeowner also is agreeing to purchase a basic Home Warranty for the buyer upon the successful close of escrow. But with buyers routinely asking for home warranties, all you as the seller are promising is a negotiated item the buyer already would demand. You proactively are handing them what they'll already ask for.
Want more information on the Century 21/AON Home Warranty? Call or e-mail us today and we'll send you the details.
