The Common Mistake Homeowners Make After Year 1

The Common Mistake Homeowners Make After Year 1

Discover why renewing your home warranty gives you extra coverage for appliances and systems that your regular home insurance policy may not cover.

If you purchased your home last year, believe it or not, it's been a year already! Time flies, doesn't it? I hope you've made wonderful memories with your family in every room, corner, and backyard barbecue. But I have a question for you—have you thought about what needs your attention now that a year has gone by?

Owning a home is a dream, but it's also a big responsibility. Let me share a few key things that will keep your home in top shape, protect your investment, and make your life easier.

Is your insurance up to date? First things first—if you've made improvements to your home in the past year, like adding a deck or redoing the kitchen, it's time to call your insurance rep. I know, I know—insurance might not be the most exciting topic. But trust me, if you’ve upgraded anything, your old insurance might not be enough to cover it. The last thing anyone wants is to find out the hard way that they're underinsured.

"Taking simple steps like reviewing your insurance, renewing your warranty, and addressing inspection items will help you avoid stress down the road."

A quick call to your insurance representative can save you a lot of heartache later. It's all about making sure you're covered, just in case. Peace of mind? Totally worth it.

Time to renew that home warranty. Now, let's talk about something many people overlook—your home warranty. If you've got one, it’s probably time to renew. A home warranty gives you extra protection for things that home insurance doesn’t cover, like appliances or the HVAC system. Think about it—if your water heater suddenly decides to give up, do you really want to pay out of pocket? With a home warranty, you’re covered.

Remember that inspection report? When you bought the house, you probably had an inspection done. And if you’re anything like most of us, there are a few things on that list that still need attention—minor repairs, a creaky door, a leaky faucet. Now’s a great time to take a look at that report and tackle the little things. It’ll keep your home in great condition and prevent small problems from turning into big ones. Plus, it’s a good excuse to finally check those items off the list!

I want you to feel happy, comfortable, and worry-free in your home. By taking a few simple steps now—checking your insurance, renewing your warranty, and handling those inspection items—you'll save yourself headaches down the road. If you need help with all of these, you can call or text us at 760-201-9252. Your future self will thank you for it. Let’s make sure your dream home stays dreamy for years to come.
