What Makes Us Different?
HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE THEIR
OWN REPAIR PROVIDER
Most extended warranty companies require homeowners to use their authorized service technicians and submit claim forms. Not at Key Estates! We believe the homeowner should be in control and pick their own repair provider. Plus, there are no claim forms to fill out. This approach allows greater confidence In who will show up at their door.
MAKES YOUR LIFE EASIER
Real Estate Professionals benefit directly from a Key Estates Warranty. Scrambling to negotiate last-minute deals over a faulty appliance or system are minimized and any problems that occur after closing won't be a concern. The homeowner will call Key Estates' Administrator directly with any issues, saving you post-sale headaches.
UNIQUE COVERAGE OPTIONS
Key Estates stands proud knowing it covers more major appliances as "standard" than most other companies. What's more, Key Estates also offers true major structural defect coverage and structural inspection. That's right! coverage on foundations AND load-bearing parts of your home.
FREE LISTING COVERAGE
Key Estates offers a free lIsting period of 180 days. Surprise expenses, especially while the home is on the market, can really throw a monkey wrench into the situation. No one wants deals going belly up or buyers walking away because of appliance or system failures. Having a warranty is a win-win for everyone.
WE GOT YOUR BACK
Key Estates is an insured warranty backed by Western Pacific Mutual Insurance Company, RRG (or WMIC) which has been rated "A- (Excellent)" by AM Best continuously since 2001. In fact, WPMIC currently has over $130 million in surplus equity. That's some serious Hulk-sized financial strength. Go ahead and ask your current insurer what they have in the reserves. I bet they won't even come close.
EVERYBODY WALKS AWAY A WINNER
Typically, homes with warranties tend to sell faster and for more money, which is awesome for the seller. Buyers also win because the warranty provides a buffer for their wallet in the event of a failure and can help regulate the price tag associated with home ownership. And finally, for Real Estate Pros, a warranty eases stress, helps you stand out in the market, and improves your odds of closing the sale.
