Landlords & property managers
Property managers · Landlords · LaundromatsAn in-house fix-it team is expensive — and still can’t cover every job.
- A full-time repair team member runs $50K–$70K a year — and HVAC and gas jobs still need a specialist.
- Even under 10 property units, maintenance can run $250–$500 per property unit a month.
- Tenant repair coordination can consume hours of time and handyman travel costs back & forth.

Realtors
Real estate agents · BrokeragesHome warranties cost up to $900 a year — but may partially or fully deny many claims by homeowners.
- Home warranties can give buyers peace of mind, but they can also create confusion. Exclusions, service fees, claim requirements, and overlapping coverage often leave buyers unsure what to do when something breaks after closing.
- Nearly 50% of new home buyers say one major appliance may need to be replaced in the first year
- Appliance issues can affect buyer confidence, inspection negotiations, seller concessions, and post-close satisfaction

- A starting point for home buyers looking for more options on major home systems
- Help buyers examine all of their options which may include fixing themselves if cheaper
