Free Marketing Materials

We encourage all Members to provide each and every home buyer with a “sample” warranty book. Sample books are available to you for FREE. Why is that important?

The only way a potential buyer understands the value of what you provide in your homes compared to the “other guys” is if you tell them. Showing your buyers that you are standing behind your work with a 3^rd party insured warranty from HOME of Texas, proves you are going above and beyond what’s required of a typical Texas Builder.

When you use a HOME warranty, you’re providing a better warranty than your competition, especially those builders who self-insure. The average homeowner today will appreciate the level of concern you demonstrate by adding this extra measure of assurance.

In addition to sample warranty books, we have many other FREE point-of-sale materials for your use.

• Consumer Brochures & Document Folders – see thumbnail images in the HOME section here.
• Brochure Holders, Model Home & Sales Office Easels, Lot Signs & Rider Signs – see thumbnail images in the HOME section here.
• Sample Warranties – see sample books here.
• Logo Artwork – download a HOME of Texas logo here.

Supplies can be ordered in a variety of ways:

• Send an e-mail to victoria.sontheimer@rwcwarranty.com

• Order online through Warranty Express. The link is in the top right corner of our website.

Proudly Display Your HOME Membership & Demonstrate Your Commitment to Quality! Buyers Will Appreciate the Difference.
