If you didn’t request a home warranty in the purchase contract, it’s not too late to get one for yourself. Now is the time to research different home warranty companies and pay for a plan if you would like one. This will be handled outside of escrow just like any other purchase for your new home. Even if you did receive a home warranty as part of the contract, spend some time reviewing the terms of the home warranty so you know what is covered and what is not covered should issues arise.
