Home Warranty
One major trend in the home warranty industry is real estate and the marketing strategy that is targeted towards new and current homeowners.Home warranty policies are purchased and utilized to protect a homeowners major systems and appliances. Sean Salter, Ken Johnson and Randy Anderson (2004) explains the significance of a home warranty, specifically to new homeowners offers the sense of a piece of mind as the purchase of the warranty is usually covered by the sellers (Salter, Johnson & Anderson, 2004). Home warranties work similar to car insurance, as you are required to pay a monthly premium and whenever the service is used, a deductible is due at the time of service.

    Week 7, Day 5 Xeco/212 Purchase a Home

    The purchase of a home has many benefits in the economy. The way the strength of the economy as a whole can affect the marginal benefits and the marginal costs associated with the purchase of a home are interest rates and home values. If the economy is good the value of homes typically increase, and interest rates will be driven by prime rate which is set by the Feds. When the rate is low people want to buy or refinance, but when the economy is poor there are fewer buyers because there job market is tough and banks will slow down lending by making it tougher for people with credit problems to buy a home.…

    Purchasing a home is likely the most monumental commitment one will be faced with. This deduction is based on the overall cost of purchasing a home, the average length of a mortgage, and preparation for home repairs. It is naïve to believe that portions of all the decision making principles would not at some point factor in with such a long term investment, any errors in the decision making process would create long term financial hardships.…

    Warranty Supervisor Case Study Summary

    Warranty Repair: The Shop Supervisor (SS) presents the documentation for a failed item to the Division Chief (DC) who disseminates the documents to the Supply Rep (SR) and the Inventory Manager (IM). The SR holds the documentation until further instructions from the IM. The IM contacts the Vendor Coordinator (VC) to provide a status report of the failed items. The VC determines a COA with the vendor to either replace or repair the failed item. If the items are returned to the vendor, the SR will generate a contract. The IM will ship the failed item to the vendor and perform a vendor loss (MIGO_GI). The Production Controller (PC) will determine if a replacement item from the warehouse stock is needed to fulfill a requirement. If a replacement…

    Boat Insurance Case Study

    Customers often provide information about updates – usually hand written on statements that are returned with payments, but occasionally included in separate letters. Or the customer talks with an agent who sends an email to the registration department. Each request must be evaluated. In essence, most requests are routine – a name has been misspelled or the customer has moved from one address or another. On the other hand, some requests involve basic changes in the policy. If a customer sells a boat and buys another, then one policy must be canceled and another initiated. Similarly, the insurance is only valid for an Ohio residence, as it is always interpreted under Ohio law. A client can use or even dock his or her boat anywhere, as long as his or her residence is in Ohio, but a client that moves from Ohio to Indiana will necessarily need to cancel his or her existing policy and get new insurance in Indiana. If the registration agent(Clerk) determines that a proposed change is a “policy changing change,” the agent refers the request to the claims adjuster who notifies the agent that the policy has changed or must be rewritten or canceled. Assuming the clerk determines that the change is legal and can be made, the clerk accesses the Boat Insurance Application and calls up the customer record – by entering the…

    Judson Phillips: American Family Insurance

    Some examples of the daily jargon used are: 1. Umbrella- which is an extra liability coverage for when the client’s original policy does not cover the full cost of the loss. 2. Waiver: A right to waive the policyholder’s obligation to pay further premium payments in the event they become disabled and cannot work. 3. Deductible: The amount a policyholder must pay for a loss before the insurance policy pays out. 4. Premium: monthly payment for coverage provided by a policy. 5. PIR- a personal insurance review for clients who haven’t reviewed their insurance in a while. 6. Warranty- promise by the insureds that statements made in the policy are true to the best of their knowledge. Some of these terms have a different meaning to those outside of the insurance industry. For example, some people tend to think of an umbrella as something that keeps them dry on a rainy day or a warranty as something that guarantees their money back if there is a defect in their product. These differences in speech are what makes the insurance industry so unique. Every agent and staffer are required to go through extensive training where they learn terms such as these so that they can effectively communicate within the agency. This exclusive language also brings about a sense of community within the…

    Case Study on Vehicle Sale Warranty

    lawDarrow purchases a new car from Silver Motors. The retail installment contract states immediately above the buyer’s signature in large, bold type: “There are no warranties that extend beyond the description on the face hereof” and “There are no express warranties that accompany this sale unless expressly written in this contract.” Before purchasing the car, Darrow specifically informed Silver’s salesperson that he wanted a car that could be driven in a dusty area without needing mechanical repairs. Silver’s salesperson said to Darrow, “Nothing will go wrong with this car, but if it does, return it to us, and we will repair it without cost to you.” Neither this statement nor any similar statement appears in the retail sales contract. Darrow drives the car into a dust storm. The air filter gets plugged up, and the car engine overheats, causing motor damage. Silver Motors refuses to repair the engine under any warranty. Darrow claims that Silver is liable for breach of the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, that the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits disclaiming this implied warranty, and that the salesperson’s express warranty has also been breached. What are the merits of Darrow’s claims?…

    Despite the current struggles of our country and the fluctuation in the economy, people will always need to buy houses. Many Americans cannot afford to buy a house in one payment.

A 30-year mortgage rate on a home is vital to the development of new families. This allows families to start a healthy line of credit with minimal risk. Also for new homeowners, government grants can help cut the cost of housing. A 30-year fixed mortgage rate along with a government grant can help new homeowners afford their…
