Why sellers need this after closing
Buyers often find problems months after moving in, and they look to the seller. Even sellers who disclosed honestly get demand letters. Common claims include:
- Undisclosed defects, like leaks, mold, plumbing, or foundation problems
- Disputes over repairs or appliances
- Allegations of misrepresentation
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- A Bastrop, TX seller received a $1M+ demand over foundation issues 7 months after closing. Read the story
- A seller who believed they had disclosed everything faced a $228,000 plumbing claim. Read the story

Common questions
Is this a home warranty?No. A home warranty pays for repairs. Home Sale Legal Protection™ pays for your legal defense if a buyer disputes the sale.

My house is in great shape. Do I still need it?
Claims are about what the buyer says was or wasn't disclosed, not just the condition of the house. Sellers who did everything right still get demand letters, and defending one without coverage means paying an attorney yourself.
Can I buy it again later if I cancel?
No. Home Sale Legal Protection™ must be purchased before closing and can't be added after the sale.
What if my home doesn't close?
Plans are fully refundable if you don't sell. If your home doesn't close or you take it off the market, contact our support team.
When does coverage start?
The day your home closes.
Where can I purchase?You can purchase in your dashboard or
