About Old Republic Home Protection

Old Republic Home Protection is one of the oldest home warranty companies in the country. Founded in California in 1974, the company has grown through the decades by its focus on customer service.

Currently the third largest home warranty company in the nation, Old Republic Home Protection conducts business in the southeast, southwest, along the west coast and in the Pacific northwest – and they're continuing to expand. Their focus is on being more than a 'one-year warranty company' and being the home warranty company its customers have throughout their lifetimes. This reciprocal loyalty is unfounded in the home warranty industry, and is achieved through Old Republic's dedication to fast, friendly, consistent customer service, available to homeowners year-round.

Service Providers

Good people know good people, which is why Old Republic encourages their customers to refer service providers they trust to get them added to the Old Republic Home Protection network of called-on service providers.

They recognize they're only as good as the providers they have in their network and that their reputation is only as strong as the level of reliability, competence, integrity and professionalism of those providers. They have the highest levels of expectation for their independent network of service providers and future volumes of work to a specific professional depends on performance.

Benefits to being an Old Republic Home Protection service provider:

  • Easy application process and a Contractor Relations Department to field any questions
  • Thousands of dollars in additional yearly income
  • Reduction in costly advertising expenses while expanding a customer base through Old Republic
  • Repeat business, not only from Old Republic but from homeowners after a service call. Many service providers leave behind their contact information, which contributes to future calls for service needs, some even outside of Old Republic's home warranty coverage
  • In addition, if a service diagnosis surfaces that is not covered by Old Republic's home warranty, service providers in Old Republic's network get the first opportunity to bid directly on that service need

Short Sale Home Warranty

Negotiating a short sale is no easy task. Old Republic offers numerous resources and protections to help these buyers. Valuable benefits include risk mitigation, budget protection and ease of mind from undetected pre-existing conditions that could surface after closing.
