Mistake #10 Buyers don’t get a home warranty.
Would you buy a car without getting a warranty? I think not! Even if you go to “Swifty’s Used Cars” you are going to want at least a short-term warranty to make sure that by the time you get home you don’t have to call a tow-truck! So why should a house be any different? I’ve purchased homes in many different states and the local custom is always different, but my advice is, GET A WARRANTY! It’s not going to cover everything but it will sure make that first year of home ownership a lot easier to deal with and then you can extend it for another year if you find it useful. Where would you rather spend your hard earned money, on a new plasma TV or fixing the water heater? I guess you can tell what my answer would be, I may be a bit biased but I’ve found they save me money in the long run. I recently had a house that we were “Fixing-up” here in Green Valley after a tenant moved out and I bet I used my warranty a half-dozen times; it saved me lots of money! So when you get ready to buy, remember, Tim says, “Get a Warranty!”
