THE ERA® HOME PROTECTION PLAN® Protection from the unexpected. After spending so much time, money and effort buying and moving into your new home, the last thing you want to worry about is a costly breakdown of your furnace, plumbing, or any other major mechanical system or appliance. But since homeowner's insurance seldom covers such problems, what's the alternative? One good answer: the ERA® Home Protection Plan®. Comprehensive coverage at a nominal cost. The ERA® Home Protection Plan® covers repair and replacement costs on most major home systems and built-in appliances, including heating and cooling systems, duct work, electrical and plumbing systems, water heaters and much more. If a problem does arise, service is always just a phone call away, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Yet the most you'll ever pay for a service call is a modest deductible. And the cost of the coverage itself is nominal – in fact, for many buyers, it's included in the price of the house. Two plans – one for buyers, one for sellers. ERA Real Estate actually has two Home Protection Plans – one for buyers and one for sellers. With the buyer's plan, standard coverage extends for one full year after your purchase, with the option to renew. Similar coverage is offered to sellers while their house is on the market, under the condition that they purchase the coverage for the buyer. So if the home you buy is covered, you receive full protection for no additional cost. For exact costs and conditions of the ERA® Home Protection Plan®, call your local ERA real estate professional.
