American Home Shield | Benefits for My Sellers

With every home I list, my Sellers receive added protection and stronger marketing appeal through complimentary American Home Shield listing-period coverage. This no-cost benefit helps protect you from unexpected repair issues while your home is on the market and gives Buyers additional confidence when considering your property.

Why Offer a Seller Home Warranty?

A Seller warranty during the listing period can help:

• Reduce surprises from covered system or appliance breakdowns before or during contract
• Provide peace of mind for both Sellers and potential Buyers
• Strengthen your marketing by highlighting added protection with your listing
• Smooth inspection negotiations when covered items fail due to normal wear and tear

Why American Home Shield?

American Home Shield (AHS) is one of the most established home warranty providers in the country, offering protection for many major systems and appliances that can break down due to normal wear and tear (coverage varies by plan). While homeowner’s insurance typically covers damage from events like storms or fire, a home warranty can help with everyday breakdowns that aren’t usually insured.

With American Home Shield, homeowners can benefit from:

• Coverage options for major home systems and appliances (plan-dependent)
• Access to a network of qualified service professionals
• 24/7 service request availability
• Added confidence during the listing and contract period

In many cases, coverage can be extended to the Buyer at closing, depending on how the warranty is structured and what is negotiated in the purchase agreement.

If the warranty is not paid for by the Buyer, negotiated into the contract, or paid for by either agent involved in the sale at closing, the coverage simply ends. The same is true if a listing expires unsold.
