Most home warranties die at closing. When window treatment coverage transfers with the house, something small but real changes at listing time: the shutters and shades stop being used fixtures and become a maintained system the next owner inherits.
What transfer actually means
Our Transferable Warranty follows the house, not the buyer. The family moving in gets the same backing you had, serviced by the same local team that installed the products. For a buyer comparing two similar homes, covered window treatments are one more thing they will not spend on in year one.
Why agents bring it up
Window treatments already photograph well and appraise as part of the home's finish level; plantation shutters in particular are routinely called out in listings. A transferable warranty gives the agent a line that is concrete rather than decorative: these convey, and they are covered.
Handing it off cleanly
- Mention the coverage in the listing notes alongside what conveys
- Leave remotes, charging cables and the app handoff for motorized treatments
- Point the new owner at the same local team: the person who installed the products is the person who services them
If you are prepping a home for market, treatments that are worn or dated work against photos. The consultation can triage: what to leave, what to replace inexpensively before listing, and where something like faux wood blinds gets the windows photo-ready without over-investing.
What sits behind the treatments
Love Is Blinds treatments come with a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty on factory defects. Our Here-4-You guarantee adds four years of service visits at no cost, so a shade that stops working gets looked at by the team that installed it. Our warranties transfer if you sell your home.
Paperwork to gather before listing
- Your original quote or invoice, which shows the products and the installation date
- A list of which treatments convey with the house
- Remotes and charging cables for any motorized shades, in one labeled place
- Our contact details, so the new owner knows who services the treatments
Fix it before the photos
Listing photos show every window. A shade that hangs crooked or a motor that has stopped responding is easy to spot in a wide shot. If your treatments are within the four-year service window, call us before the photographer comes; the visit costs nothing.
