Growing demand for home services is an opportunity for you

Today's consumers typically have higher service expectations, less free time, and little specialized expertise or patience for do-it-yourself home maintenance.  A tighter economy creates a consumer mindset focused more on maintaining than remodeling, however, many consumers have had a negative past experience with a hired handyman, and warranties are only helpful after something goes wrong.  When your customers voice these concerns, you can tell them about HOMEX.

The HOMEX Network is open to professionals and businesses that provide services or products to homeowners. As an Authorized Representative of the HOMEX Business Network, you can add tangible value to your service offerings with our Home Maintenance Service Plan.

HOMEX is different

• Much more than a warranty

  Proactive vs. reactive
  Warranty-protecting (like a car)
  Detailed service records provided

• Better than a handyman-for-hire

  Always on-call
  Dedicated team assigned to you
  Single, licensed resource for all needs
  Project-managed for quality control

HOMEX is a preventive home maintenance program of managed services that are provided by skilled journeymen and service technicians. Planned maintenance services are proactively scheduled throughout the year. Maintenance Plan cost is scalable based on the size and complexity of each individual home. HOMEX is available on-call for Maintenance Plan customers if a need arises for extra services or additional scheduled visits. Customers on our Maintenance Plan have priority for additional services.

• For Realtors – when your clients are buying or selling a home, you can refer them to our planned program with inspection, monitoring, maintenance and repair of home systems, equipment, materials and finishes in and outside of their home. Sellers can market their properties with the confidence that their homes are in prime condition to attract prospective buyers. And as every realtor knows, buyers are significantly more favorable to a home that has been professionally and consistently cared for. Our records show details of all services, dates of service and assigned technician.
• For Insurers – when your clients are remodeling or buying a home, purchasing or upgrading a homeowner's insurance policy, our managed services can help them reduce the likelihood of catastrophic failure which might cause harm to their loved ones and/or major damage to home or property resulting in claims. Proven 'pride of ownership' discounts on policies can be a potential benefit offered by insurers to homeowners who have an established track record with a professional home maintenance service.
• For Lenders – when your clients are ready to apply for a home loan, refinancing or borrowing against their home equity, you can help them maximize their return on investment by helping them preserve their home and property in its best possible condition. The HOMEX plan could easily be included in escrow and accounted for within a borrower's discretionary funds.
• For Residential Home Builders – J.D. Power and Associates surveys rate builders based on customer satisfaction at move-in including time to cover maintenance and repair. Have experts do it so builder's employees can focus on building. We can visit your home buyer regularly, check on their property and report back to you.
