Selling a home is a significant milestone that comes with its fair share of excitement and challenges. While most sellers focus on staging their homes and negotiating offers, there’s an often-overlooked aspect that can have a profound impact on the selling process: legal protection. Enter Home Sale Legal Protection, a service designed to safeguard sellers from potential post-sale disputes and legal complications.
What is Home Sale Legal Protection?
Home Sale Legal Protection is a specialized service that provides sellers with financial and legal support in the event of disputes arising after the sale of a home. This can include disagreements over property disclosures, contract terms, or even alleged misrepresentations. With this protection in place, sellers can navigate these challenges with confidence, knowing they have a safety net to fall back on.
Why is it Important?
Imagine if you have a buyer contacting you demanding you to pay $75,000 for a roof repair they made post close, or saying there’s a pest infestation, and the exterminator told them that there is evidence that this has been a problem for a long time (and you seriously did not know there was a problem). Or imagine there is a big storm and the basement floods, and it had never flooded in the 10 years you lived in the house, but the buyer comes back and demands you pay for the repairs. These are real life examples of our customers.
What do Sellers Get with Home Sale Legal Protection?
How Does It Work?
Once you purchase a Home Sale Legal Protection plan, you’re covered from the moment your home closes until the end of your plan term (typically ranging between 1 to 4 years). If a legal issue arises, the seller simply contacts Sellers Shield support. We will ask for the closing statement as well as all correspondence from the buyer regarding the issue.
Our internal team will review the issue and start communicating with our network of real estate attorneys to assign the seller the best one for their situation. We’ll send an email with all the details regarding their attorney and the attorney they will start working with the seller directly.
The service covers legal fees up to a predetermined limit, ensuring the seller has the resources needed to address any dispute effectively.
Is It Right for You?
If you’re a home seller looking to minimize risk and protect your investment, Home Sale Legal Protection is a wise choice. We have received claims from sellers with homes of all ages, all price points, and in all locations. Additionally, it’s important to remember that even with accurate disclosure, buyers may still come back post-sale and make demands.
Benefits For Agents
When an agent’s seller has Home Sale Legal Protection, we step in at the first sign of trouble, taking you out of it. No more back and forth between the buyer or the buyer’s agent.
In addition, we resolve most disputes before they become lawsuits, meaning the agent won’t get dragged in.
