Preferred Home Warranty Partners
Coverage for the systems and appliances that fail after closing — and a straightforward way to add protection into the contract. Select your market to see the partners who serve it.
Why a home warranty matters
Major systems and appliances fail without warning, and repairs add up quickly. A residential service contract gives buyers a predictable way to handle those costs in the first year of ownership and beyond, with a flat service fee per claim instead of an unplanned repair bill.
For agents, it's also one of the simplest concessions to negotiate. A warranty is inexpensive relative to most contract terms, and it addresses the exact anxiety buyers voice most often after inspection: what happens when something breaks and the seller is gone.
Worth knowing in Texas
A home warranty is a residential service contract, not insurance. In Texas, residential service companies are licensed and regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission — the same agency that licenses you. Coverage is for failure from normal wear and tear, not for damage from a covered peril like fire, storm, or water intrusion. That's what homeowners insurance is for.
Two details worth reading in every contract before recommending one: how the company treats pre-existing conditions and improper prior maintenance, and what caps apply to high-cost items like HVAC systems. Those two clauses drive most of the disappointment agents hear about after closing.

How our agents use this list
A preferred partner list is only useful if it changes what you actually do on Monday.
Raise it before you write the offer
A warranty is one of the least expensive concessions to ask for. Discuss it while you're structuring terms, not after the inspection report lands.
Read the coverage limits
Caps on HVAC and how pre-existing conditions are handled vary meaningfully between companies. Know the differences before you recommend one.
Give clients options
Provide more than one name and let your client compare plans. It's better service, and it keeps you clear of any suggestion that a particular provider is required.
Frequently asked questions
What does a home warranty cover?
Coverage varies by plan but typically includes major systems such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, plus appliances like ovens, dishwashers, and water heaters. Optional add-ons often cover pools, spas, septic systems, and additional refrigeration. Read the specific contract — covered items, limits, and exclusions differ between companies.
How is a home warranty different from homeowners insurance?
Insurance covers damage from events like fire, storms, or theft. A home warranty is a residential service contract covering the repair or replacement of systems and appliances that fail from normal wear and tear. They address different risks, and a buyer generally needs both.
Who regulates home warranty companies in Texas?
Residential service companies in Texas are licensed and regulated by the Texas Real Estate Commission under the Residential Service Company Act. You can verify a company's license status through TREC.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Usually not, though the treatment varies by company and is one of the most important differences between plans. Some exclude any condition detectable by visual inspection or simple mechanical test; others are more permissive. This is worth reading in the contract before recommending a specific provider to a client.
Is there a cost per service call?
Yes. Most plans charge a flat trade service fee each time a technician is dispatched, in addition to the annual plan cost. The amount varies by plan and is disclosed in the contract.
Can a home warranty be included in the purchase contract?
Yes. Buyers can often negotiate for the seller to provide a home warranty as part of the contract, adding protection at closing. Many companies also offer seller's coverage during the listing period at no upfront cost, with payment due at closing.
Do I have to use a preferred warranty company?
No. These partners are provided as a convenience only. Clients are always free to choose their own home warranty provider, and comparable services are available from other providers. No one is required to use any partner listed here.
