Coverage of these is $100 more and I was told the real estate agent was responsible to tell me that. So a covered fridge wasn't covered. Too bad so sad. Gotcha capitalism at its worst. They then asked for renewal which for a year is over $800 to actually have real insurance.
And....the small print says the item must fail first, not be failing but broke and then they determine who to fix, what to fix and if replaced whatever brand they want. My homeowners insurance is only $300 more that that and covers a lot more. IMO this is a bad deal.
If, I understand? Real estate agent was responsible to tell me that? HUH? Sounds like a resale and the seller took out a warranty on the appliances so as to avoid any responsibility. I think there is an implied 30 day warranty. When we sold our previous home we GAVE the purchasers the washer and dryer and stated no warranty. They both were in the house when we bought it and were still working.
