Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.Sam from Select Home Warranty was excellent and explained the costs of plans available that were within my budget, and that the warranty covered my rental property I own. I picked The Platinum Plan as it covered most major items. Would contact him again in the future.

Louder Than Promises.While speaking with my customer service representative, Bruce, he was very informational, provided me with all the information I wanted to know about the company and the coverages. Guided me on how to file claims and even gave me a little background information about why they are rated #1 warranty company. Thank you and look forward to working with this company.

Louder Than Promises.The representative was very professional and helpful in getting the plan in place. I have had another company for 10+ years and both their value and service have steadily declined. I would recommend reviewing this company if you are in the market for a warranty plan.

Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.Excellent service. Professional and responsive. Zachary answered all my questions as well as inquiries for further discounts available such as senior citizen and multi year. I had a one year policy but decided a three year made more sense. Select was helpful and forthcoming in all discussion.
Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.The customer service representative seemed very knowledgeable and a fairly painless process to enroll. He answered all of my questions and addressed any concerns. I haven't had to make a claim since I just enrolled, but anticipate it being fairly painless as well.
Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.This company was quick to respond but not overbearing! Fred was really nice and explained things clearly. I feel very confident using this company. The price was very reasonable compared to other companies, whose claims fees were much higher.
Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.My experience so far was excellent. Wayne who facilitated this application and followed up on it, was terrific. He explained everything in detail. Answered all my questions and there was zero pressure. I expected it to be like buying a car and it was anything but that. When I told him I wanted to think about it for a day or two. He honored that. The plan is much better than the one I've experienced before with Choice Warranty.
Service That Speaks
Louder Than Promises.The agent was knowledgeable and courteous on the policy. Although I am just signing up for the new policy, I trust the Select Home Warranty based on the items that the policy covers, its promised turnaround time for each claim, and extended coverages, including my irrigation system. I look forward to working with Select Home Warranty.
