10 Frequently Asked Questions about home warranty

One of the biggest worries for homebuyers during the home buying process is all the unknowns, especially for first time homebuyers: what if this home turns out to be a money pit? Questions of whether the dishwasher or washing machine is on its last leg or if the HVAC will go kaput in the first year?
