I am completely happy with my warranty plan. My mind is at peace with it.

Thanks for your comments. Sorry about your problems with the home warranty company. Here are some other suggestions: contact your local Better Business Bureau (BBB), contact your State’s Attorney General, they usually have a consumer complaint department. Lastly, try your State’s Department of Insurance. They also might have a conflict resolution department. Good luck. Take care, HomeBuyer Advocate Mike

My experience, with Choice. my dishwasher was not repaired, I was promised a 200.00 buy out check and it has been 60 days and still have no check. I have been given the run around.

naturally like your website however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth however I will certainly come again again.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the comment. You are 100% correct. I have not updated my home warranty blog post. June 2010 RESPA/HUD finally issued an interpretive ruling that bonuses or payments to real estate brokers are considered kickbacks and are illegal. Again, thanks so much for your comment. Take care, HomeBuyer Advocate Mike

It is illegal for home warranty companies to pay a commission to a real estate agent for the sale of a warranty. You post is no longer accurate.

If you compare all home warranty companies in your area, it seems that the majority of Realtors recommend HMS to their clients. Our entire subdivision in military and they all talk up HMS about prior experiences, current, and wherever they move. Do these companies cover everything – heck no just as Deborah siad above read the fine print. There are items specifically described as non-covered you just have to know what. So, we are PRO (for) home warranties and PRO HMS – contact your Realtor.

Deborah, Thanks for the great comment. Good insight. You are absolutely right, “make sure everyone understands the fine print.”
