Home Warranty Services

In today's market, more and more home buyers are looking for protection through a home warranty. Studies show that homes listed with a home warranty have a better chance of selling, sell faster, and sell at a higher price.

At David Winans GMAC Real Estate, we are pleased to offer the GMAC Home Protection Plan. Through your purchase of a GMAC Home Protection Plan, not only are you offering protection to your buyer, but your home will be insured against any covered mechanical system or major built-in appliance breakdown for the first 180 days of your listing.

Why a GMAC warranty is so important to your peace of mind

If you're selling a home, a warranty will make your home attractive to prospective buyers. It also helps the home sell faster, while it covers you against unexpected repair bills (less a standard deductible) during the time your home is up for sale. If you're buying a home, your expenses only begin at closing. Most people have lots of renovations to make, or furniture to buy and so on. So the last thing you want is to have to spend additional money for repairs due to unexpected mechanical failures of certain working components in the home. With so much that could go wrong the odds are against you.

GMAC Home Protection PlanBenefits when you're the seller

Nearly eight out of ten buyers prefer to buy a warranted home, according to a Gallup poll. That's why your home should be covered with a GMAC Warranty during the listing period. It makes your home a safer investment for the buyer, allowing you to sell faster and for more money, up to 3% on the average. What's more, if you provide your buyer with a one-year warranty plan paid for out of the closing proceeds, your home, if qualified, will receive – at no additional cost – up to one year of coverage while it's up for sale. You'll enjoy the benefits of protection, yet you pay nothing for repairs to covered items except a standard deductible. And we're so sure we can sell your home, we'll give you a sellers' warranty at no cost. No matter how many claims you have, if your property doesn't sell, you owe nothing.

Benefits when you're the buyer
