Re: HWA Launches First National, Licensed Home Inspection Warranty Program - RisMedia
In some places, such as in Florida, selling a warranty is, well ... selling a warranty, which is Innsurance, which requires one to be a licensed innsurance agent before being able to legally sell them. Including them in your home inspection as 'free' does have a cost, because, if it is truly 'free', meaning no strings attached, you WILL issue a home warranty to anyone who asks for one, whether or not they have you do an inspection.

That last part will get you in trouble in most states, even if the innsurance aspect does not. If you advertise it as 'free', it needs to be 'free'. An exception to that is 'buy one, get one free' at which case most states treat that as 'each one is half price'
