How do I select a home warranty company when buying a home?

When selecting a home warranty company when buying a home, there are a few key things to keep in mind:

* **Coverage:** Make sure to compare the coverage offered by different companies to find a plan that meets your needs. Some plans only cover major appliances, while others also cover systems such as HVAC and plumbing. It's also important to read the fine print to understand any exclusions or limitations.

* **Price:** Home warranty plans can vary in price, so it's important to shop around and compare quotes. However, it's also important to remember that the cheapest plan may not be the best. Be sure to factor in the coverage and customer service reputation of the company when making your decision.

* **Reputation:** Read reviews from other homeowners to get a sense of the company's customer service reputation. You can also check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has any complaints against it.

Here are some additional tips for selecting a home warranty company:

* **Ask your real estate agent for recommendations.** They may be familiar with different companies and can give you insights into their coverage and customer service.

* **Look for companies that offer a free trial period.** This can give you a chance to try out the service before you commit to a long-term contract.

* **Make sure the company uses licensed and insured technicians.** This will help to protect you in case of any problems with the repairs or replacements.

Once you've narrowed down your choices, be sure to contact each company to get a quote and ask any questions you have. This will help you to make the best decision for your needs.

Here are some of the top-rated home warranty companies in 2023:

  • American Home Shield
  • Choice Home Warranty
  • First American Home Warranty
  • Select Home Warranty
  • 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty

These companies offer a variety of plans at different price points, so you can find one that fits your budget and needs.
