Many builders are bracing themselves for a housing downturn. If you’re looking for a way to manage the housing downturn, a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10 HBW) Structural Warranty can help you in three specific ways.
1. A 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty can help protect your margins
Protecting your margins and managing risks are crucial to continued success during a housing downturn. The average cost of a structural defect ranges between $75,000 and $125,000 per claim. Without a solution, these unexpected and expensive issues can eat into your margins and do devastating financial harm to your business.
Whether you’re a volume builder or custom builder, a 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty can mitigate this risk. With a 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty, you can transfer the financial risks that structural defects can create off your books.
Additionally, a 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty provides you with access to local experts and timely solutions to structural defects. Instead of bearing the burden of finding, coordinating, and executing on a fix for defects, 2-10 HBW’s local experts handle everything, giving you more time to do what you do best—build quality homes.
2. 2-10 HBW provides proven marketing materials and sales support
A big part of thriving through a downturn is showing value despite market conditions. By providing a 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty, you’re already ahead of the game because you’re providing the industry’s leading coverage for expensive structural defects.
Even better, you get marketing materials and sales support when you offer a 2-10 HBW Structural Warranty.
As a 2-10 HBW Builder Member, you get access to the following:
- Sales training and materials to help your sales team show the value of a structural warranty from the buyer’s perspective, which shows the added value they’re getting when they work with you.
- Third-party validation from an industry leader, which further proves your commitment to quality. Not all builders are allowed to join as a 2-10 HBW Builder Member because not all builders meet the standard for joining. When an industry leader can vouch for you, it can enhance your reputation.
