I just bought a property in Grand Prairie so perhaps they will also cover FW. I went with 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. Here's a few others my realtor recommended - Fidelity National Home Warranty, One Guard Home Warranty, & Allied Home Warranty.

    A home warranty is different from home insurance. A home warranty pretty much takes care of any major problems that may come up with the electrical, the appliances that are in the home, the plumbing, etc... after you buy the house.  Depending on which plan you get, there are different things that can be fixed. The home warranty can be negotiated in the price of the home when you send in an offer.

    @Olivia Williams I have been a real estate agent/broker/investor since 2002. My firm manages several hundred rental properties. Over the last 15 years, I have never seen a home warranty worth the paper it is written on. It has been my experience that it is more cost effective to save the premium and self insure. The warranty companies have a horrible record of actually paying out at the level the home owner expects. I could write a book on how warranty companies are just a rip-off.

    I have been reading more about it and the general opinion is the same as yours. My realtor negotiated for the seller to pay for the warranty. So, I am not financially set back on it. I noticed that you are a property manager from my home town. I will be in the market for one very soon. Please, send more info about yours in private message.
