There’s no place like How American Home ShieldŽ helps bring peace of mind to homeowners

Home is where we all are.

Homes — and the people who spend every day in them — are working overtime this year. And homeowners are busier than ever, which means they want to spend their free time enjoying their homes and not thinking about maintenance, breakdowns, or repairs.

That’s where American Home Shield comes in.

We’re a difference maker for homeowners.

We listen to them, anticipate their needs, and fix their problems. And American Home Shield doesn’t just have the needs of your customers in mind — our home warranties benefit real estate professionals like you, too. If there’s a covered breakdown after closing, your client will contact us instead of you, limiting your liability and stress.

We cover parts of home appliances and systems when they wear out, no matter their age. And if we can’t fix them, we’ll replace them. We also help with the issues that home insurance doesn’t, including breakdowns due to lack of maintenance, to make sure your clients have the protection they need to keep their homes running smoothly.

Simply put, American Home Shield makes homeownership easier, much like you do for the buying and selling process. You and your clients are important, and ensuring that you’ve both got valuable coverage to help keep the sale on track is our top priority.

MAKING HOMEOWNERSHIP SIMPLER FOR OVER 45 YEARS. American Home Shield founded the home warranty industry in 1971, solving two big problems for homeowners — getting reliable help and managing costs associated with home repairs. Today, with more than 1.8 million members, we’re still the largest, most chosen home warranty provider.

We offer additional services at exclusive, memberonly rates, like Seasonal HVAC Tune-Ups, Rekey Service, Tech Installation and Setup, and more.
