        When is coverage effective?

        Can I cover my home while it's listed?
Yes! When the property is listed, and the seller agrees to provide a home warranty plan paid out of the proceeds of the closing, the seller receives coverage for an additional cost for the duration of the listing period (not to exceed 180 days). This cost will not need to be paid until closing. At closing, the Seller Home Warranty converts to an Buyer Home Warranty, providing coverage for the buyer.
