Bobby Rayburn Receives Commitment to the Industry Award

Home Buyers Warranty Corporation (2-10 HBW®) has honored NAHB Immediate Past President Bobby Rayburn with the 2-10 HBW Commitment to the Industry Award for his significant contribution to the success of the building industry.

“For more than three decades Bobby Rayburn has exemplified commitment and strength in the building industry,” said 2-10 HBW CEO Em Fluhr. “His dedication, loyalty and hard work are tremendous assets to the forward momentum of the industry and we are proud of our enduring relationship with him as an industry partner.”

Among his many achievements, Home Buyers Warranty recognized Rayburn’s efforts on behalf of affordably priced housing and his leadership at NAHB, the Home Builders Association of Greater Hattiesburg, the HBA of Mississippi and the HBA of Jackson. Rayburn was the co-author of the HUD publication, “Affordable Housing Development,” and he is the co-founder of the HBA of Misssippi’s Student Chapter at the University of Southern Mississippi. In his 33 years as a home builder in Mississippi he has constructed more than 3,300 homes.

Home Buyers Warranty Corporation is one of the nation’s leading risk management companies for the home building industry, and it is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

In its more than 25 years, 2-10 HBW has covered more than 1.25 million new homes valued at almost $200 billion through more than 15,000 builders nationwide.
