Home Warranty

How Home Warranty Coverage Can Help

How AHS Seller Coverage Works
When it comes to selling a home, offering a home warranty in the contract is an excellent way to entice buyers. It can also help mitigate unexpected covered issues from the home inspection.
- Seller adds on the Seller Coverage Option. This option will help protect the home seller with the same covered items as the ShieldEssentialSM package.
- Sellers enjoy coverage for up to 6 months. Payment is not due until closing.
- The warranty transfers to the buyer and becomes effective at closing.
- Differentiate your Marketing Plan for the Seller from the others.
