    Home Warranty vs Residential Service Contract

    If you're buying in Austin, you've probably tried to figure out the difference between a home warranty and a residential service contract. Here's the short answer: in Texas, the coverage you buy for your systems and appliances goes by both names, but a builder's warranty is a different thing entirely. In my latest video, I clear that up and then cover what actually matters, how this coverage differs from your homeowners insurance, how it differs from a new-home builder's warranty, and the Texas-specific details, including how you can ask the seller to help pay for it at closing. Watch my video before you close on your next home.

Watch my video to see where your money goes the furthest before you list.
