Stroudsburg -
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Associates’ CEO, Thomas R.
Wilkins announced that BHG is now offering Sellers and Buyers home warranties
from America’s Preferred Home Warranty,
Inc. While Better Homes and Gardens
Real Estate has offered home warranties for a number of years, switching to America’s Preferred Home Warranty, Inc.
(APHW) was a move beneficial to customers and clients as well as the Wilkins
organization.
Said Wilkins, “We’ve successfully sold home warranties
for almost 10 years. While we were very
pleased with our past purveyor, the product offered to Buyers and Sellers by
America’s Preferred Home Warranty, Inc. simply cannot be beat. Please note, I said Buyers and Sellers.”
APHW, whose corporate state is Michigan, is the only
national home warranty company that allows homeowners to choose their own licensed
contractor if they choose to do so.
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Wilkins & Associates, who also owns
NEPA Management Associates, may provide homeowners with maintenance services
through their extensive list of preferred maintenance and service contractors. Currently, NEPA Management is doing some
repair work for Sellers, new Buyers and those Owners who live in a community
they manage. NEPA maintenance services
are not available to the general public.
America’s
Preferred Home Warranty, Inc. offers a number of advantages that have
helped them to become the fastest growing home warranty company in the
country. Some of these courtesies include
letting the homeowner choose their own licensed contractor, complimentary
LISTSECURE warranty coverage for home sellers, fast, easy and convenient ways
to order your home warranty and 24/7/365 person to person claims service.
Wilkins further stated, “The final decision made by
Senior Management to switch home warranty companies was based on warranty
coverage for Sellers while the home is on the market.” When a homeowner lists their home for sale
with BHG and utilizes APHW, their home is covered just as it would be for the
Buyer. At closing, the home warranty is
transferred to the Buyer who then has one year coverage, all for under
$400. No payment is due from the Seller until
closing which further makes an APHW home warranty the best deal on the
market. “Warranties protect a Buyer so
in their 1st year they don’t have any surprises and now, to protect
the Seller while their home is listed is certainly a novel idea.” Wilkins
remarked.
Said William Schutte, Executive V.P., “This was a
no-brainer. With us being able to offer
this service to our Sellers during the time the home is listed, and then being
able to transfer it to a Buyer who gets one full year of coverage, simply
cannot be beat. We thoroughly
investigated APHW’s Claims Department to ensure quick, effective and seamless
resolution should our Sellers need to activate their coverage as well as the
level of service by the contractors.”
APHW’s LISTSECURE program isn’t offered by competing
warranty companies and is designed solely for home Sellers. Home Sellers who use America’s Preferred Home Warranty are eligible for the LISTSECURE
program (certain restrictions apply).
Homes listed by Better Homes and Gardens Wilkins Realtors
are eligible for the home warranty program.
With no money due at signing—the warranty is paid for at closing—there are
a number of ways that the warranty can be transferred to the Buyer. The cost is typically paid by the Seller as an
incentive to Buyers to purchase their home; it can be purchased by the Buyer
directly from Pennsylvania First Settlement Services at closing or is available
up to 21 days after closing should the Buyer elect to purchase the warranty at
that time.
Schutte said, “Home warranty
programs cover those items that a homeowners’ insurance policy do not
cover. That’s what makes a home warranty
so advantageous. Also, since the
foreclosure market still remains prevalent throughout the Poconos, a home
warranty (which is sometimes paid by the banks) gives that Buyer peace of mind
that if the hot water heater goes, something is wrong with the plumbing, air
conditioning or the appliances, they’re covered, not by their homeowners’
policy but by APHW.”
America’s
Preferred Home Warranty, Inc. pride themselves on having one of the best
customer service teams in the industry. Every claim from a homeowner is handled
person-to-person, 24/7/365. HomeWarrantyReviews.com the #1 consumer
