Buying and Selling Your Home

Are you buying or selling a home? Read below to see the benefits you can gain

Buyers

In addition to covering your appliances and systems, a Mike Holmes Protection plan will help lower your home’s repair costs. There will be no need for you to search the internet for contractors or repair technicians, nor will you have to question whether you can trust somebody unfamiliar.

Buyers
Ease of knowing that we will repair a covered component if the service provider can not repair it.
Vast national network of pre-approved service contractors.

Sellers

An extended home service contract can be a good marketing tool, giving buyers additional assurance about their purchase. During the process of selling your house, we can also assist you in protecting your appliances and systems. Allowing you to concentrate on your next home rather than your current one.

Sellers
Homes on the market with a protection plan included sell on average 50% faster than homes without.
Homes with protection plans return a sales price that averages 3% higher.

  • Plumbing Limit
    For Plumbing Items:
    For each item categorized as plumbing systems, (see the full list under "Plumbing Systems" above) coverage is limited to $3,000 per plumbing system.
    All service costs up to $3,000 per plumbing system per malfunction will be covered. If in the course of that repair service the work will cost over $3,000, then you will be responsible to pay the remainder.
    Other contract limits and exclusions may apply. For details on these and other additional contract terms, please refer to the sample contract.
  • Systems Limit
    For Heating, Cooling and Electrical Items:
    For each item categorized as systems, (see the full list under "Heating & Cooling" & "Electrical Systems" above) coverage is limited per system (coverage limits shown in the table).
    All service costs up to the limit per system per malfunction will be covered. If in the course of that repair service the work will cost over the limit, then you will be responsible to pay the remainder.
    Other limits may apply in the case of geothermal, glycol or steam heat sourced AC or Heat units, and in the case of access through concrete. For details on these and other additional contract terms, please refer to our sample contract.
  • Appliances Limit
    For Kitchen and Laundry Items:
    For each item categorized as an appliance, (see the full list under "Kitchen Appliances" & "Laundry Appliances" above), coverage is limited per appliance (coverage limits shown in the table). Which means if your oven needs a repair that costs $1,000, you still have the full coverage limit if your refrigerator breaks too, as coverage is per appliance.
    All service costs up to the limit per appliance per malfunction will be covered. If in the course of that repair service the work will cost over the coverage limit, then you will be responsible to pay the remainder.
    Other contract limits and exclusions may apply. For details on these and other additional contract terms, please refer to the sample contract.
