Buying High End Appliances may make repairs difficult –  Recently a client needed a repair for a Wolf gas stove top.  Anyone who watches HGTV or has shopped for appliances knows Wolf is one of the most expensive brands along with Jenn-Air, Thermador, Sub-Zero and Asko.  The issue was finding a repairperson.  Wolf and Sub-Zero only allow certain repair companies to order parts which limits the number of companies available.  This client had a home warranty and the  Wolf repair person was out of town for three weeks which was way too long to wait.  The home warranty agreed to allow a different repair company which was not easy to find.  This was a valuable lesson.  When buying appliances think about the ease and ability to have it repaired quickly in addition to the brand name.
