Turn the vendor advice your agents already give into revenue that never stops.
Your agents recommend trusted pros every day. With Guard Home Warranty and Trusted Only, your brokerage earns $100 on every policy — plus a reward every year it renews — while your clients keep the freedom to use the contractors they trust.

You're already in the warranty business. You're just not getting paid for it.
Every week, your agents point clients toward home warranties and the pros to call. That advice creates real value — it just walks out the door. Worse, most warranty programs lock your clients into a closed network and hand your agents a tote bag.
Advice your agents give away for free
Clients forced to use strangers, not trusted pros
A one-time perk instead of lasting income
There's a version of this where your brokerage owns that value instead of giving it away.
Two ways your brokerage earns
One pays right away. The other pays for years. Both are cash, with brokerage-level reporting.
$100 / policy
When a policy closes, the agent or office admin fills out a short Service Fee Form — most of it pulled straight from the home inspection. Guard pays $100 for every completed form. No cap.
RESPA note: the $100 is paid solely for the completed Service Fee Form — an administrative service. It is not a referral fee or payment for referred business, which RESPA prohibits.
10%
first renewal
7%
every year after
Most warranty programs pay the brokerage once — at the sale. Guard pays you every year the policy renews: 10% of the first renewal premium, then 7% of premium for as long as the policy stays active.
- Paid in cash — not points or perks
- No cap on participating agents
- Quarterly statements, policy-level reporting
Built different — on purpose
Five things every one of your agents can promise a client with confidence.
Instant payouts
Once a claim is approved, funds can hit the homeowner's account immediately. No checks, no waiting.
Choose your own contractor
Homeowners use any licensed pro they trust — including the ones your agents already recommend.
No service fee unless approved
Clients only pay when a claim is approved. No surprise charges, ever.
Industry-leading turnaround
Claims processed faster than the industry standard — because deals don't wait.
A+ rated with the BBB
Verified credibility — the kind of partner a top brokerage can stand behind.
And it works the way agents already do.
No switching costs. No exclusivity. Your brokerage can start today.
The warranty pays. Your trusted pros perform.
Guard covers any licensed contractor — including the ones your agents already recommend. Trusted Only is where those pros live. Together, choice never leaves the homeowner's hands.

Agent shares their Trusted Only list
Trusted vendors + Guard coverage, in one branded link.
- 2
Client adds Guard at the closing table
A thoughtful gift from the agent — not a sales pitch.
- 3
Something breaks — client picks the pro
They use the trusted vendor the agent recommended.
- 4
Guard pays instantly, brokerage earns
Claim covered, relationship intact, revenue recurring.
The result: the homeowner keeps the freedom to use the contractor they trust, your agent stays the person who made it all easy, and your brokerage earns on coverage that protects the relationship for years.
It all starts with one simple email.
Days before closing, the agent sends the client the two things that make them look like a hero — their trusted vendor list and a Guard warranty. One thoughtful note sets up years of staying top of mind, protects the home, and starts the brokerage's revenue.
- Sent at the perfect moment — right before move-in
- Positions both as a gift, not a sales pitch
- Plants the Trusted Only list they'll use for years

Before we close — two things to make your home ownership journey easier 🔑

to Jordan & Megan Reyes
Hi Jordan & Megan,
We're just a few days from closing on 412 Marsh Wren Lane — congratulations again! Before you get the keys, I want to set you up with the two things I give every client.
1. My trusted vendor list. The plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and handymen I personally trust — so you never have to guess who to call.
TSarah's Trusted Vendor Listtrustedonly.com/sarah-bennettOpen →2. A home warranty through Guard. Optional, but I recommend it: if a covered system or appliance fails, Guard pays the claim fast — and you can use any licensed pro you like, including the ones on my list above. No service fee unless a claim is approved.
Full transparency: Coastline Realty has a partnership with Guard and may be compensated if you enroll. It never changes your price, and you're never required to use them — I recommend them because the coverage is genuinely good.
Any questions before Thursday's closing, just reply or text me anytime.
Talk soon,
Sarah

Picture next year
Every policy your agents placed this year is still paying your brokerage.

You didn't add headcount or change a single workflow. You just stopped giving away value you were already creating.
