Home Warranties - Do I Need One?
We always get a little postcard when Home Warranty Inc. covers a claim for one of our buyers or sellers; it makes us feel good to know our folks are protected in the event of some unforeseen problem with their new home.

π or pie!?
Pi or Pie? Eat a pie for Pi day!
Pi (π) represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Regardless of the size of the circle, pi is always the same number. You can find the number pi by dividing a circle's circumference by its diameter. You should always get 3.14159… or π. So how do we celebrate this never-ending number?
Eat Pie!!! Even though National Pie Day is January 23, we enjoy the excuse to eat pie any chance we get, and Pi Day is definite cause for celebration. Any holiday that combines math with something as delicious as pie is high on our list. Here is a recipe from one of our very own employees!
