Why 13 is Your Lucky Number

April 4, 2023 by Michelle Magnus Brown

Homes sell faster with a CRES Advantage Plan Home Warranty by Fidelity.

By now you probably know that adding a sellers’ home warranty to your listing helps sell your home faster and for more money. But here’s something you may not know: The 13-Month CRES Advantage Home Warranty Plan, underwritten, issued and administered by Fidelity National Home Warranty, provides extra protection to all sides of the real estate transaction and can be used as a great listing tool. And this is why 13 is your lucky number.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE CRES ADVANTAGE PLAN BY FIDELITY

While anyone can order the CRES Warranty to get the Buyers’ 13 months of warranty protection, this plan’s unique E&O features are available only to Agents and Brokers that have their Errors and Omissions insurance with CRES Insurance. These unique features include:

  1. Covers 13 months of home warranty coverage and conveys to the buyers at closing
  2. $50,000 of Seller’s E&O Coverage* via the Sellers Protection Plan (perfect as part of your listing package)
  3. A Possible Deductible Reduction of up to $5,000 on the Office’s E&O Insurance with CRES*

As a CRES E&O Member, your Sellers may qualify for $50,000* of E&O coverage in the event they are named in a lawsuit on the transaction. This gives you a competitive edge over other agents when competing for listings. In addition, your sellers are covered during the listing phase from systems failures through the home warranty portion of the CRES Advantage Home Warranty, which is a feature that also conveys to buyers. This is a win-win for everyone.

Being able to offer your Sellers this unique coverage for FREE gives YOU the competitive advantage over competing Listing Agents!

The nominal cost of a 13-Month CRES home warranty provides the four following options that add incredible value:

  1. Offers protection with “non-contingent” offers
  2. Provides evidence of your fiduciary duty to protect your client
  3. Adds value and protection to both buyers and sellers
  4. Protects your commission
