Home Warranties

I think home wararnties are a great thing.

I always encourage my buyers to try and negotiate on into their offers to purchase and my seller to offer one with their home to make it stand above the crowd.

The warranty company I use sends me a post card each time one of the transactions I've been involved with uses the warranty. It's a great time to follow up and make sure everything got fixed and say hi.  This lets you make a contact in a very positive, caring light and also give you the opportunity to say: "Oh, by the way, know anyone thinking of buying or selling???"
