This figure from the USGS shows the major parts of the typical barrier island system. 1  Open Water - Barrier Islands are found in areas where the sea floor slopes away gently to the continental shelf.

HomeLife Home Warranty. The HomeLife Home Warranty Programâ¢ is a powerful tool that protects both the buyer and seller from post-closing situations in the event of appliance, electrical, plumbing or other malfunction, which is not covered under the normal Home Insurance.
A home warranty will garner interest in your home, especially from first-time home buyers, who might be concerned about future repair expenses. Most home warranties cost $300 to $500, and last for a year after the closing date. When you buy a seller's home warranty, it should include coverage on your home while it's on the market. The warranty would then be transferred to the buyer for one year of coverage beginning on the closing date of the sale.
