In my experience, clients appreciate closing gifts that bring them value, so I invest in a home warranty for my clients - both buyers and sellers. It helps cap their risk on potential repair bills and to buys peace of mind around home systems and appliances, especially in the first year of ownership, or when selling a home with older components.

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments most people make. A thorough home inspection can reveal hidden issues that might save you thousands of dollars or prevent future headaches.
