When must an Epcon Communities franchisee obtain the home warranty plan for each Unit?

According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to secure a home warranty plan for each unit before closing the sale of that unit. This includes gathering all necessary information and documentation required by the home warranty plan provider. The home warranty covers defects and deficiencies in workmanship for one year and structural defects for ten years.

The cost of the home warranty is estimated to range from $925 to $1,500 per unit. Additionally, the third-party provider may require a one-time enrollment fee for each project, estimated at $95. This warranty must be purchased from a third-party provider designated by Epcon Communities, and franchisees must meet the underwriting requirements set by that provider.

This requirement ensures that buyers of Epcon Communities homes are protected against potential defects, providing them with peace of mind and safeguarding the brand's reputation. For prospective franchisees, it's crucial to factor in these warranty costs and enrollment fees when projecting expenses for each project. Meeting the underwriting requirements of the third-party provider is also essential to ensure compliance and avoid any delays in closing the sale of units.
