13. Get a Home Warranty From the Seller
“During the negotiation process, ask the sellers to provide a one-year home warranty,” said Jill Higgins, a realtor with The Closers. “Home warranties start at about $300 and go up to $600 or more for advanced coverage. Buyers can save money two ways: one, by having the seller pay for the home warranty, and two, by having the home warranty to help cover the cost if things break down unexpectedly.”
