Why Maverick? (Formerly Centricity)
Shoemaker Homes provides a third party Maverick (formerly Centricity) home warranty with the purchase of every home. The advantages of this are:
- no additional cost to you.
- a written warranty to illustrate what is covered.
- third party inspector for our foundation system and final landscape grades.
Maverick was founded in 1990 and serves homeowners nationwide through its various warranty programs and insurance. Maverick is responsible for the performance of the written warranty either directly or indirectly through the homebuilder. However, not every builder can become a member of the Maverick. Certain criteria must be met in order for a builder to offer this warranty to their customers.
These requirements include:
- thorough screening from the Maverick underwriting department.
- business longevity and financial stability of the company.
- references are reviewed in regards to customer satisfaction.
- rating of customer service and response time in which they return to complete punch list and other items in regards to servicing the customer.
“The bottom line: builders who participate in a third-party warranty program care about their customers. Builders have to prove themselves on their superior quality, timeliness, customer service, and financial stability in order to qualify for a Maverick new-home warranty.”
