‘Beyond Warranty’ Helps Builders in Eye of Service Storm

To help home builders manage the “perfect service storm” of increasing right-to-repair laws and more sophisticated and demanding home buyers, BuilderBooks.com has released “Beyond Warranty: Building Your Referral Business” by Carol Smith.

The book takes builders step-by-step through the complicated but essential process of creating a home warranty program that can improve housing quality and earn satisfied customers and referral business.

“Beyond Warranty: Building Your Referral Business” teaches readers how to:

  • Align buyers' expectations with the service they receive

  • Write a limited warranty document

  • Develop and use warranty and maintenance guidelines effectively

  • Structure warranty service procedures for a particular market

  • Create an efficient repair process

  • Make service a positive experience for home owners

 

The book includes a companion CD with 14 ready-to-use documents and forms to help builders create a first-rate warranty program.
