Landmark Home Warranty is a scam, beware of them. Let me explain: I have had Landmark Home Warranty for almost 6 years now and have paid full amount due, yet I am being cheated out of what I should get in return. My water heater leaked, it is covered by my plan, but this dishonest so-called warranty company is practicing fraudulent actions to make me pay $1235.00 (almost 75% of the replacement cost). Landmark Home Warranty collaborates with dishonest contractors to beef up bogus 'out-of-pocket' installation charges to avoid paying for the replacement. Bogus charges of $1235, that are absolutely not required, are quoted as out of pocket expenses and not covered by warranty. The false and bogus charges are about 75% of total cost of replacing my water heater (quoted by plumber). As a second option I am offered a cash hand out of $681, an amount that is merely 50% of any new 50 gallons water heater of same specification. I even asked to find me a new water heater for that amount! I will go pick it up and install it myself just tell me where and how I can buy a new 50 gallon water heater for the amount. Of course the fraudulent and dishonest excuse they made is that "only they can buy a new heater at this price and it cannot be given to me". Proves the scam in itself. I am given 2 absolutely unfair options that are absolutely against our contract and absolutely unacceptable. I do not agree with the bogus installation charges that their fraudulent contractor have quoted. I even offered to get an estimate from another contractor but I was refused because they only work with dishonest contractors that are their partner in this crime. Landmark Warranty Company is practicing absolutely dishonest and unfair business and it should be challenged and properly handled by authorities.

Always given the runaround by their agents that are so difficult to understand due to the company using a call center in another country. Not worth the headache. This last incident occurred yesterday. I have some blockage in the main drain and no access to water or toilets. I called in an emergency and still waiting 24 hours later. I was told there wasn’t anything they can do. They aren’t willing to contact an emergency contractor. I could’ve gotten someone out here on my own dime and I wouldn’t have to spend $$$ on a 2 night stay at a hotel.

AC replacement. I have been working with Landmark for three months now on an issue involving our AC. 1. They had no service providers near my location. (Find a contractor near your location) Three separate contractors verified the unit needed to be replaced. 2. Landmark wants to talk to contractors. However, the contractors would hang up after 15 minutes on hold. They have a job to do. 3. Landmark knows this and keeps the contactors holding knowing they will hang up. 4. Can you provide the contact information on your closest service provider to me? I'll pay for the travel. 5. "I can only provide contact information on a provider near you. Since there are no contractors near you, I cannot provide this information

Step 1: Pay surprise $330 co-pay for water softener replacement, on top of your initial $700 home warranty, a $65 service call, then $65 again, and $65 once more for service calls. Step 2: Spend 3 hours on hold, pay $65 then another $65 in service calls trying to figure out why your water softener is sitting in a puddle of water under your sink, your kitchen sink plumbing is leaking, your fridge water/ice doesn't work, and the power to your dishwasher and garbage disposal is dead. Step 3: Send 5 unanswered emails, call once a week from March 2022 until June 2022, listening to easy jazz saxophone solos on hold for 45 minutes at a call center where no one understands you in English, no supervisor is available, and no management has an extension or email. Step 4: Pay another $65 for a second opinion in order to get a repair done. Step 5: Pay another $65 for a third opinion. Step 6: Wait for the "authorization committee" to approve a work order. Step 7: Wait another month. Call once a week, hold for 45 minutes, get disconnected, repeat. Step 8: Wait for the "customer relations" department to approve your work order in "48 hours." Step 9: Wait another two weeks, wait on hold for 45 minutes, explain the problem from the beginning every time, to a call center employee who is reading from a script and doesn't understand you. Step 10: Learn that your water softener "isn't covered." Send a copy of your invoice and bank charges for the $330 you paid for the initial installation of the oh-so-covered water softener. Step 11: Learn that you're not eligible for a "recall order" (aka repair) because it's been over 30 days since it was installed, so now it's "not covered." Step 12: Laugh! Step 13: Explain that you have lots of documentation showing every service call, invoice, phone call, email, and that you're prepared to resolve the matter in small claims court if they don't repair the system they covered and installed, which was done incorrectly. Step 14: Finally get a work order. Step 15: Wait some more while nothing happens and your water softener leaks more water into your cupboards. Step 16: Build a time machine, go back and set fire to your $700 instead of giving it to Landmark for a home warranty you'll be ahead.

One of the worse experiences with a home warranty insurance. Reported AC never did they communicated their contractors did not served my area, until I called and had to wait 24-48 hrs from the second call.. 3 days later get a call from another contractor stating the same. On the phone for over 30 min to file a claim..Please stay away from this insurance!!

Landmark has been terrible to work with and I would advise not going with them. Their support call staff was unprofessional. Not only did they actively avoid solving my problem but have now made it so that I will receive ZERO value from the warranty leading us to loose out on thousands of dollars in home repairs that should have been covered by our warranty. This has been extremely frustrating!

As other have said, it's a scam. Avoid at all costs , even if you're the buyer of a home where the seller has purchased a contract on your behalf. Services are non-existent, or shabby at best. What's also annoying is the incentives given to realtors to promote such products.

Landmark is a classic example of an insurance company that makes money by finding ways to deny claims. I was a loyal customer for over a year and finally called on them to fix a leak in my washing machine. They decided my claim was excluded "secondary damage" because a defective spring broke, causing another part to crack. This is a totally twisted reading of the policy, but good luck fighting that when you are scrambling to get your washer repaired so you can keep your kids in clean clothes. Landmark is NOT there for you when you need them. Buyer beware.
