I saw it first on John McCormack's Facebook post.

It's typically asked by buyers in our market and paid by the sellers.

Like most things in real estate, it's negotiable.

I did not know that. I always suggested them and was almost always able to get the seller to pay for it. AND, I carry a Home Warranty on my own home.

Sometimes I will ask for the sellers to pay if the buyers are hesitant, or suggest to sellers op if appliances are older. I can't afford to offer all buyers a warranty. In some cases it would almost be half my commission

I had no idea, Sharon... but I do own a home warranty that's paid off for me. I'm amazed that my warranty companies have not sent me emails about this.
