WARRANTY EXPRESS LOGIN

RWC’s been around for over 30 years and we have 3 million home warranties under our belt. We think we know a thing or two about the home warranty industry and we don’t really lose sleep over what “the other guys” are doing.  That’s because our home warranty programs are so successful that we don’t have to copy them. But we always get a chuckle when we see those other guys “copying our homework.”

Take our name for instance. There’s one competitor out there that tries to get leads by pretending to be “Residential Warranty Company.” Nice try. There’s only one RWC and we’re it. When we run a membership drive…the other home warranty companies run membership drives. At RWC, we strive to innovate…not imitate.

Want a home warranty company that’s been around for a while?

RWC’s been in business since 1981. That’s 33 years of experience…without name changes, company buyouts or corporate restructuring. Just us…for 33 years and counting.

Want a home warranty company that’s experienced and not a “newbie” when it comes to warranty resolution?

RWC’s administered more than 3 million home warranties. Not every home has claims but when issues arise, don’t you want a company behind you that truly understands what they are doing?

Want a home warranty company that’s on solid financial ground?

RWC’s new home warranties are backed by an insurer that has been rated “A-(Excellent)” since 2001. Think about what our housing industry went through during that time frame and in spite of it all, our insurer maintained its exemplary rating. What’s more, neither RWC nor any of our Principals have ever been under supervision or receivership. In fact, our insurer boasts a surplus equity of over $100 million dollars. Ask the other guys what skeletons are in their closets!

Want a home warranty program that gives you choices?

RWC issues over 80 different types of warranties. From the standard FHA-approved variety to the customized state version to the specialty warranties for remodelers, building systems manufacturers, commercial contractors, and even detached garage builders, RWC has what you need.

Want a home warranty company that provides you with FREE FULL-COLOR marketing materials?

RWC wants the warranty program to work for you, not only for risk management, but also as a marketing tool. Check out our full-color warranties and we think you’ll agree.

Want a home warranty company who’s willing to let you be rewarded for your own good claims experience?

RWC’s exclusive Incentive program has rewarded builders with over $20 million in incentive distributions!

Don’t be fooled by the “pretenders.”

Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve - the best value for your dollar, and that’s RWC!

So go ahead and look at the other guys. We’re patient. We’ll wait for you.

RWC…We’ve Got Warranties NAILED!

 

The vast majority of RWC builders utilize our online enrollment system, Warranty Express: a unique membership feature of our home warranty company. But did you know that if you also pay for your homes online, you will SAVE MONEY, too? Enroll your homes on Warranty Express and pay for them online by credit card or I-check, and RWC waives the $6.95 processing fee* for each one. Think about it: if you enroll 100 homes per year, that $6.95 fee morphs into a nifty $695.00 pretty quickly!

If you still enroll your homes manually, switch to Warranty Express and take advantage of this online method for enrollment and payment of home warranties. The system is secure, your closing documents are ready for you quickly, but best of all, you save not only the $6.95 per home, but also a lot of time!

What else can you do on Warranty Express besides enrolling a home?

As a real estate professional, why should you care about new home warranties? What’s in it for you?

Here’s 5 perks of having a solid RWC home warranty in place - perks that benefit both you, the builder, and the potential buyer:  

  1. It Just Looks Good
    As a Real Estate Agent, you know the market for new home construction sales is both competitive and complicated. Not only are builders competing against each other for sales, but also against the resale and foreclosure markets. A new home warranty is a distinguishing feature that makes a new home even more attractive to potential buyers.
  2. Quality
    Obviously, the home buyer must qualify under today’s rigid requirements, but the builder may also need to meet certain criteria. Whether a home is financed by a conventional, FHA or VA loan, be assured that a home built by an RWC member is constructed with quality.
  3. Buyer Peace of Mind
    Written, insured warranties provide recourse for repairs for your buyers. If the builder is unable or unwilling to correct warranted defects, the Warranty Insurer steps in. Without a warranty, in these uncertain times, a homeowner might be forced to “go it alone” in a time when the average major structural defect exceeds $30,000.
  4. Protection
    Real Estate agents benefit directly from the warranty in the event a defect does occur. The warranty ensures that either the builder or the home warranty company will rectify warranted defects.
  5. Assurance
    Warranty members have passed stringent screening criteria for professional building ethics, financial stability, and technical competence. As a result, agents are better assured that the home is built by a more qualified builder.

And the benefits of RWC’s home warranties for real estate pros don’t stop there! Discover additional reasons to secure home warranty coverage with RWC.

RWC’s new home warranties are packed with “value added” features - features that provide heightened security, resale value, and an important measure of peace of mind for homeowners.

Yes, it’s essential that you have a strong home warranty in place to ensure home protection, but don’t just stop there. There are additional ways to ensure your home holds up over time, including seasonal maintenance inspections.

A part of being a responsible homeowner is checking on things before they go haywire. Inspecting your home on a regular basis and following good maintenance practices is one of the surest ways to keep your home in tiptop shape all year long. Plus, these regularly scheduled seasonal maintenance inspections can help prevent costly problems from occurring.

If you haven’t completed your summer maintenance inspection, there’s no time like the present! There are a number of indoor and outdoor maintenance tasks to complete each summer including repairing walkways and steps, painting, checking your chimney and roof, etc. Though tempting, it’s important that you do not put these important tasks off. If you do, odds are, you will pay...literally.

For a comprehensive summer maintenance checklist, we invite you to use this handy resource.

And remember, if you don’t have the time or energy to conduct these periodic home maintenance inspections yourself, there’s always the option of paying someone! Either way, it’s in your home’s best interest to get these periodic inspections done.

The recent redesign of our full-color customized home warranty books has been well-received and widely-celebrated by our Members.

We’ve seen a clear uptick in the usage of the full-color books since the redesign indicating that, combined with a boost in building activity, more Members are incorporating the books into their marketing programs and strategies to upgrade their marketing effectiveness.

One builder even expressed to his Account Executive his immense approval of this dynamic marketing tool, commenting that the enhanced look and feel strongly added value to the materials he presented to buyers.

Another large Member contacted his Account Executive immediately after seeing the fresh books to order new supplies for each of his divisions. He also commented that the books “were beautiful and would be very good for their marketing.”

Suffice it to say, the makeover has been a major hit with our Members and has definitely enhanced their marketing efforts.

Residential Warranty Company, LLC (RWC) - an innovator in the warranty industry and the nation’s leading new home warranty provider - is proud to celebrate a long track record of high home warranty ratings!

For the twelfth consecutive year, Western Pacific Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (WPMIC) has earned an A.M. Best rating of “A- (Excellent).” WPMIC is the insurer for new home warranties provided by RWC and its affiliated company, MHWC, and for general liability insurance provided to home builders through the RWC Insurance Advantage (RIA) program.

The A.M. Best Company is the oldest, most experienced rating agency in the world and has been reporting on the financial condition of insurance companies since 1899. As a full-service credit rating organization, A.M. Best is dedicated to serving the financial services industries, focusing on the insurance sector. Best’s ratings represent the current and independent opinion of a company’s financial strength and ability to meet obligations to its policyholders and are only assigned after an extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation of a company’s financial strength, operating performance, and market profile.

A.M. Best’s “Excellent” rating is ascribed to companies that, in their opinion, “have an excellent ability to meet ongoing obligations.” WPMIC’s "Excellent" rating, current as of March 1st, 2014, reflects its sound capitalization, historically favorable operating performance, positive cash flow, and conservative reserve levels. Additionally, the rating recognizes WPMIC’s history of maintaining sufficient capital to support its ongoing obligations and the effective management of its long-term exposure to loss.

ABOUT RWC

Residential Warranty Company, LLC is a leading provider of insured home warranties to the building industry. Builders seeking options in coverage, sensible home warranty protection, and assistance in dealing with customer service, choose RWC. In business for over 30 years, RWC has warranted over 3 million homes. An extensive “menu of choices” in both home warranties and general liability insurance is available, enabling builders to reduce their liability and increase the marketability of their homes. Become a member today!

Finally, after several lean years, the new home building industry is enjoying improvement. The nation’s vacant home inventory is virtually depleted and new homes are being built again to meet the demand. Interest rates are still low and buyers have more confidence, so not only are homes being built, but they’re being bought.

What are you doing to entice buyers and set yourself apart from your competitors? What kinds of bells and whistles are you including in your homes that other builders are not? How are you promoting your quality and strength? What’s your response to a potential buyer when they ask, “What if I have a problem in my home and you’re out of business?”

That’s a real concern for buyers. None of us can forget how difficult the economy has been. We’re all cautious when making large purchases. Home buyers especially want to be assured they’re getting the most for their money and that they’re purchasing a home from a reputable, quality builder.

By providing RWC’s sensible home warranty, you’re proving to your customers that if there’s a problem in their home, it will be corrected. We investigate all of our members. We want to be sure our members have a solid reputation, build a quality home, have financial strength, and provide excellent customer service. You don’t just subscribe to RWC. You earn your membership, so be sure to proudly include and display the fact that you’re a RWC member. Add our new logo to your printed materials and media advertising and add a link on your website to our homeowners page.

This will also help you compete against resale homes on the market. Most resale homes include a third party home warranty. Quality, reputation, reliability, warranties, and assurance are all very important factors in a home buying decision.

Have you ever had a difficult homeowner after the sale? RWC can help you there, too. Our dispute resolution process is extremely effective. We have trained individuals that assist you and your homeowner through a free 30 day mediation process. Mediation is efficient and effective. From time to time, a homeowner isn’t satisfied with the outcome. For those occasions, binding arbitration is available. Again, RWC’s staff schedules and assists the parties through this process.

Now that homebuilding is gearing up again, be sure to emphasize your advantages. Don’t miss out on sales because you didn’t promote yourself effectively. In addition to your company’s profile information, be sure to advertise that you provide an insured, third party warranty from the nation’s largest home warranty company. Warranties issued by RWC are insured by Western Pacific Mutual Insurance Company, A Risk Retention Group (WPMIC). WPMIC specializes in new home warranties and, in fact, does not write insurance for any other unrelated risk. The financial strength of the company – over $100 million in surplus equity – dedicated for new home warranty resolution means you don’t have to worry about the insurer behind your warranty going out of business because of either man-made or natural catastrophic losses (hurricanes, oil spills, etc.).

The benefits of RWC’s home warranties are numerous for your homebuyers and for you. Enroll today!
