Honest Take

Which plan is right for you?

2-10 is most useful around real-estate transactions and new construction. RMO MyHome is built for ongoing membership.

Where RMO wins

Better for ongoing homeownership

  • Lower entry price — $19/mo vs. ~$40–$50/mo for 2-10’s entry plan.
  • Disappearing Deductible on MyHome IV reduces the cost of each claim over time — 2-10 service-call fees stay fixed.
  • Direct enrollment — no real-estate agent or closing required. Sign up any time, not just when buying or selling.
  • Bundled with banking, insurance, electronics protection, roadside, and more — one membership, many benefits.
  • Month-to-month — no annual contract lock-in.
Where 2-10 may be better

Better for new construction or real estate deals

  • Builder structural warranty — 2-10’s flagship product covers structural defects on new construction for 10 years. RMO does not offer this.
  • If your seller or builder is offering a 2-10 plan as part of a transaction, the cost may already be paid for the first year.
  • Real-estate-friendly transfer process — coverage transfers to new buyer if you sell mid-contract.
  • 40+ years in the home-warranty business with deep relationships in the real-estate industry.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty?

2-10 Home Buyers Warranty is a home warranty company that’s particularly active in real estate transactions and new construction. They offer resale home warranties for existing homes and a structural warranty program for builders. The company name comes from their original 10-year structural warranty.

Does RMO MyHome cover structural defects like 2-10?

MyHome focuses on systems and appliance breakdown coverage, similar to 2-10’s resale Service Agreement. 2-10’s structural warranty for new construction is a different product that builders include with new homes — RMO does not currently offer a builder structural warranty.

Can I get RMO MyHome without buying a home through a real estate agent?

Yes. MyHome is sold directly to RMO members and doesn’t require involvement from a realtor or builder. 2-10’s resale plans are commonly attached to home purchases through real estate transactions, though they also sell direct.

Is RMO MyHome cheaper than 2-10?

MyHome I starts at $19/month, lower than 2-10’s typical resale plan starting around $40–$50/month. MyHome IV at $49/month is also generally lower than 2-10’s higher-coverage plans.

What about waiting periods?

Most home protection plans, including 2-10, have a 30-day waiting period for new contracts to prevent claims for known pre-existing problems. Review the MyHome plan documents for RMO’s waiting period and any pre-existing condition exclusions.

If I’m selling my home, can I switch from MyHome to 2-10 to make the home more attractive?

2-10 plans are commonly included in real estate listings because they transfer to the new owner. If you’re selling, ask your agent about the typical local norm. RMO MyHome is intended for the homeowner directly and does not transfer to a new buyer at sale.
