HOME'S WARRANTY EXPRESS STREAMLINES HOME
ENROLLMENTS IN AREAS WHERE INSPECTIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED

Harrisburg, PA. HOME of Texas (HOME) a Texas new home warranty provider, has unveiled a completely revamped online enrollment process for builders who construct their homes in areas where inspections are not required. Warranty Express – the updated Electronic Enrollment System – allows a builder to enroll homes online and save both the time spent on manual form preparation and the postage spent in submitting those enrollments. The new system is not yet available for certain enrollments in Texas where inspections are required or for HUD-code housing.

With the click of a button, HOME has transformed home enrollment into a one step system. Warranty Express streamlines the enrollment process by eliminating initial enrollments, deposits and some additional surcharges if the warranty fee is paid online. Immediate confirmation is sent that the enrollment has been received. Warranty books and closing documents may be printed from the convenience of the builder’s office or settlement office. FHA confirmation letters may also be generated online. Home buyers benefit from the reduced time to prepare the settlement paperwork for closing and the lower expense involved.

Knowing that builders often are required to juggle several tasks simultaneously, Warranty Express lets the builder start the electronic enrollment process, save the work done and come back later to finish or edit before submitting it. Multiple homes can be enrolled at one time over a secure site to protect privacy.

Additionally, the Warranty Express system allows all Texas builders to order marketing materials and enrollment reports online.

HOME of Texas has made its mark on the industry by providing an entire menu of programs and services for builders, real estate professionals, manufacturers and lenders.
