Intero Adds Intero Home Check Program to Growing List of Specialized Services and Expertise

Intero Home Check Enables Tangible Value-Driven Experiences for Home Buyers and Sellers

CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ahs–Intero, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America, Inc., is proud to announce the launch of the Intero Home Check program, a progressive real estate service that provides additional value and peace of mind to buyers and sellers in today’s competitive real estate market.

The Intero Home Check Program is a bundled solution incorporating a home maintenance services package, home inspection, and home warranty with exclusive discount pricing for Intero agents and their clients. In partnership with HomeSmiles, sellers working with Intero receive a full 18-point maintenance service on their homes before hitting the market, providing a cleaner home inspection report. In addition, American Home Shield will provide a discount on a home warranty for any home utilizing the Intero Home Check program.

“As a real estate services company—not just a brokerage—our goal is to provide services that cover the entire spectrum of the homeowner’s journey,” said Scott Chase, President of Intero. “Intero Home Check gives our agents yet another innovative and effective service to differentiate themselves and elevate their clients’ experience.”

“The Intero Home Check program provides sellers a higher quality of saleable product by reducing action items on home inspection reports and increases curb appeal for broker tours and open houses,” said Jesshill Love, CEO of Home Smiles. “We are excited about partnering with Intero to help clients easily achieve the best results for their homes.”

For the home buyer, the program offers additional assurance knowing that their new home is “move-in ready” with all required annual maintenance items completed. Intero Home Check properties will be designated by “Intero Home Check” sign riders and online designations on listings.

“We are pleased to participate with Intero and Home Smiles to help launch the Intero Home Check program,” said John Gillen, National Vice President of Sales for American Home Shield. “The Intero Home Check program is a great fit for Bay Area buyers and sellers, and we look forward to our continued relationship with Intero and our ability to bring value to their clients.”

Currently, Intero Home Check is available for clients working with Intero agents locally in the San Francisco Bay Area. The program will be expanded to cover Intero’s service areas in Western Nevada and the Greater Lake Tahoe regions, as well as franchise offices in California, Nevada, Tennessee and Texas by the end of the year.
