time can receive multiple contracts at anytime

be represented– Many subdivisions will have you log in

subdivision

Home Warranty Plans
Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate some
risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can provide
to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating,
plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.
Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all
cases, there are important limitations and exclusions
(example: appliances/systems must be operative at
commencement of coverage).

InspectionsInspections and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close. Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and structural inspections.
