For real estate agents, offering Fidelity’s warranty can differentiate your listings and protect clients. Studies show homes with warranties “tend to sell faster and closer to asking price,” since buyers gain extra confidence. Agents gain peace of mind, too: covered breakdowns during escrow won’t derail closing, and customer referrals can follow when clients use their warranty claims. Offering a home warranty plan can also help agents secure a listing.
In sum, Fidelity’s HomeWarranty.com plans offer homeowners reliable coverage and cost savings (at the expense of paying a small deductible per visit), and give agents a simple way to add value. Below, we delve into the details: coverage, costs, processes, reviews, and the agent’s perspective, with tables and charts for clarity.
