For Sale By Owner (FSBO)
HSA fully endorses the use of a real estate professional to assist you with the sale of your home.

| Why should I offer a home warranty when I sell my "for sale by owner" home? |
| A home warranty can help your home sell more quickly. Warranting your home will enhance its value to prospective buyers. This typically results in a 15% faster sale than similar homes without warranty coverage. |
| Homes that are marketed with a home warranty typically sell at a higher price. The home warranty can be used as a contract negotiating tool to receive the best possible price for your home. Homes with a warranty sell 3% closer to the asking price than homes without a warranty. |
| Homes that include warranties attract more buyers than similar homes without a warranty. More than 80% of home buyers, nationally, say they prefer to purchase a house which includes a home warranty. Experience a greater chance of selling your home with a warranty. |
| Home warranties reduce your liability after the sale. Protect yourself from the potential of post-sale property conditions that can lead to additional expenses after closing. For your protection, provide a comprehensive warranty that includes the major mechanical failures and structural coverage for the buyer. |
| A home warranty does not replace a home inspection. Home warranties exclude pre-existing conditions. A home inspection helps identify any issues before the close of sale. The warranty will protect your homebuyer after the close of sale. |

* FSBO warranty coverage is for buyer only, effective the date of closing. In order to qualify for FREE warranty coverage while your home is for sale, you must have your home listed for sale with a real estate professional. | | | | |
