As you map out your goals for the year ahead, consider one simple addition that can largely impact your success: a home warranty. More than just a safety net, including a home warranty with every sale can be a strategic advantage that benefits both your clients and your bottom line.
What agent wants the call that a heating system malfunctioned two weeks after closing? A home warranty redirects those service requests to the warranty company, helping the agent avoid post-sale stress and reducing the risk of after-sale disputes.
Home warranties are a smart way to differentiate your brand. Highlight them in your listing descriptions and pitches, marketing materials, and social media posts to show potential clients that you go the extra mile.
A home warranty can make your listings stand apart—especially in a competitive market. Discerning buyers may be more likely to choose a home that comes with built-in peace of mind. A home warranty can be a powerful incentive, providing timely repair and replacement for covered home systems and appliances during the first year of homeownership—especially if a buyer has had to drain their savings for a downpayment.
Providing a home warranty shows your clients that you’re thinking beyond the sale. It enhances your reputation as a client-focused agent. When things go smoothly after closing, clients are more likely to recommend you to others, fueling referral growth year-round.
For sellers, a home warranty can be used during the listing period to affordably repair or replace any covered home systems and appliances that could cause motivated buyers pause. It also means fewer surprises during inspection, and fewer chances of deals falling through.
Smart agents don’t just sell homes, they sell confidence. Use a home warranty to help boost your reputation, grow your business, and protect yourself in 2026.
