Perks of Becoming an American Home Shield® Real Estate Pro

AHS Logo

Real estate is a competitive industry. With millions of agents and loan officers across the country, consumers have plenty of options to pick from when it’s time to buy or sell a home.

Finding a way to stand out—like by developing an excellent personal brand—can help you capture more business. 

Another great strategy for differentiating yourself from the competition: Become an American Home Shield Real Estate Pro. As an official American Home Shield partner, you’ll unlock exclusive perks that’ll make you more attractive to clients while simultaneously protecting your own home at a discounted price. 

Benefits of working with American Home Shield

Becoming an American Home Shield Real Estate Pro comes with seven major benefits that can provide an immediate boost to your business:

1

Win more listings

With American Home Shield as a partner, you’ll become a more attractive agent to potential clients—and that could spell the difference between them working with you or with someone else.

2

Stand out in multiple-offer situations

Help your offers stand out by including a home warranty in the mix. While most warranties only cost a few hundred dollars over the course of a year, they can provide thousands of dollars in coverage, especially in the event an appliance or major system needs to be replaced.

 With that, offering to throw a warranty into your deal can boost its overall appeal without a major financial commitment on your client’s end—all while increasing the chances that your offer becomes the one.

3

Give clients industry-best coverage

American Home Shield is the industry leader and founder, along with being an award winning company known for its innovative technology, qualified Pro network with a 30 day workmanship guarantee, and other exclusive member benefits for each household.

4

Provide peace of mind and mitigate risk

As a real estate agent, you know better than anyone else: Houses are unpredictable. Yes, a home can undergo the most thorough inspection possible, but problems still slip through the cracks.

 A home warranty is a relatively low-cost layer of financial protection in case disaster ever strikes. If an appliance kicks, a system fails, or the roof needs a quick repair, the right home warranty plan can help.

5

Help protect client budgets

Houses are expensive. If your client is already draining their wallet to afford their mortgage, they might be reluctant to invest in major repairs or replacement appliances on top of it.

 That’s where a home warranty can become especially useful. Having a home warranty gives buyers a plan for covered repairs and replacements that could cost them thousands of dollars.

6

Build strong relationships and repeat business

Offering to support your client with your home warranty connection shows you’re going beyond the status quo to deliver value to your customers. You’ll become a more valuable connection in their lives—and you might even receive referrals from your new relationships.

7

A discounted home warranty

Real Estate agents need coverage too. We offer $50 off* your first year of home warranty coverage with us regardless through our Partner Program! You’ll enjoy the same great home and budget protection as your clients—but at a discounted partner rate.
