All good buildings start with a solid foundation. FREA's new home warranty program covers homes from the foundation up, including appliances, systems, the structure and roof, making it a rarity in the warranty industry. The program reduces the liability of participating inspectors, home sellers and real estate agents. Warm Reception Real estate agents have embraced the program because its extended coverage of the roof and structure provides them with greater liability protection.
Agents are often key to marketing home warranties to homebuyers and sellers.
Since each home will be inspected by a FREA certified inspector before a warranty is issued, homebuyers receive the double protection of a thorough inspection and the most comprehensive warranty available. Because the program shifts much of the liability to the warranty, sellers and inspectors will see their liability risk reduced as well. Nigel Bonny, FREA's Managing Director, believes the increased protection this warranty offers will drive business to the inspectors who offer it. When they are given the option, they will choose this one over the competition because our standard warranty covers roof and structure as well as systems and appliances. After meeting with four warranty companies, we decided to forge an alliance with the most experienced and well-established carrier in California.
