Why Real Estate Professionals

What is

A HOME WARRANTY? An American Home Shield Home Warranty is a one-year service agreement that covers the repair or replacement of many major home system components and appliances.

Breakdowns are typically due to normal wear and tear, so it’s not a matter of if important items will fail, it’s a matter of when.

Who is

AMERICAN HOME SHIELD? American Home Shield founded the home warranty industry in 1971. Today, we’re still the largest provider of home warranties with more customers choosing us for coverage against costly breakdowns of appliances and home system components. We’ve paid out more than $2 billion in service requests in the last 5 years alone.

For more than 45 years, our goal has remained the same — to protect our customers’ budgets and homes while providing convenient and excellent service.

Follow Up

Contractor Assigned American Home Shield will then assign a service contractor to come out to assess the breakdown of the covered system or appliance. AHS assigns a service contractor within 15 minutes or less 93% of the time.

Your client will receive a confirmation to the email address we have on file, verifying the request has been assigned to a service contractor and who the contractor is.

The contractor will diagnose the problem and contact us. Based on the contractor’s diagnosis, we’ll determine whether your client’s problem is covered by their home warranty plan. If it is covered, the contractor will repair or replace the covered item.

Your client will receive an email or phone call after any covered service has been performed, so we can make sure the problem was resolved to their satisfaction.
