Old Republic Home Protection to the Rescue

San Ramon, CA, March 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- When Old Republic Home Protection, a leading provider in the home warranty industry, heard that U.A. Durr Home Warranty of Metairie, LA, had suspended operations, and that their Plan Holders might lose their valuable protection, ORHP donned its “Superhero” suit and came to the rescue. ORHP developed the following creative solutions that allow U.A. Durr Plan Holders and/or Real Estate Agents and their clients to maintain the valuable benefits that home warranty protection provides.
