• The American Home Shield® Warranty

The breakdown of a home’s major mechanical systems and built-in appliances can cost sellers and buyers a substantial amount of money.

That is why home warranties are becoming increasingly popular. Baird & Warner, America’s oldest real estate company, has joined with America’s oldest and largest home warranty company to offer what we believe to be the best plan available today: the American Home Shield warranty.

The AHS warranty protects you from costly repair and replacement of covered major appliances and systems*. No cost, no obligation seller’s coverage begins when you list your home with Baird & Warner for a period of six months or more. Enrollment is automatic.

You can also choose to cover your home’s buyer for one full year after closing. This gives your home a valuable competitive edge in the marketplace when you are selling. Even more importantly, after closing, should your buyer have a problem with a covered appliance or system, AHS will step in to solve it.

As a seller, you can be assured the problem will not be yours!
