What is a real estate home warranty?

A Dwellness Real Estate Home Warranty is a service agreement that covers the repair or replacement of many major home system components and appliances. It is available to sellers (limited listing coverage) and buyers typically via their real estate brokers in the context of a real estate transaction only.

We also offer home warranty plans for customers who are not in a real estate transaction. See homeowner coverages here.

Why do I need a real estate home warranty?

If one of your home’s appliances or systems breaks down, it can mean more than just your air conditioning or dryer not working — it can also mean having to cover an unexpected expense. Instead of paying the full retail cost to repair or replace a covered item, a real estate home warranty can help you manage the costs of unexpected, covered breakdowns.

Why is buying a real estate home warranty a good decision for my budget?

A real estate home warranty helps protect your budget when a covered item breaks down. You pay your Trade Service Call Fee when you request service instead of paying the full retail cost of repairing or replacing a covered item out of pocket. You are also responsible for any costs not covered.

Can I transfer my real estate home warranty contract to someone who buys my home?

Yes. To transfer your agreement, please call 702-641-8888

Can I add a real estate home warranty to the house I’m buying after closing?

You can add a warranty to your new home at any time, but you must add the warranty to your new home within 30 days of closing to take advantage of our special real estate pricing.
