Since 1976, it has been Tarion’s job to make sure the new home warranty program is there for all Ontarians and it is proud to announce that the Tarion Warranty Corporation is now offering information about the statutory new home warranty in Tagalog, thanks to partnerships with leaders in Toronto’s Filipino community.The value of Tarion’s Tagalog initiative is twofold, notes Peaches Madarang, owner of Toronto’s Thinc10 Inc. “This service not only helps professionals educate and protect Filipino-Canadian consumers, it also personalizes and enriches the experience of buying a new home for consumers whose first language is Tagalog.”
Two publications – the warranty brochure and an educational video – are currently available on Tarion.com. This is the first new language to be launched in 2017 as part of Tarion’s growing collection of multilingual resources.“We know that buying a new home can be complicated. There are many steps to complete before, during and after the new homebuying process,” said Siloni Waraich, vice president of stakeholder engagement. “Tarion hopes that providing materials in multiple languages will help make the process easier for all new homebuyers. We look forward to continuing to expand our multilingual resources to better educate, protect, and reach even more consumers across Ontario.”Tarion engages in regular outreach to communities across the province to ensure that new homeowners are properly educated on its warranty process. Tarion is partnering with the Filipino Canadian Real Estate Association (FILCREA) to launch these educational materials and make them widely available to Ontario’s Tagalog-speaking community.“Our community’s realtors and groups like FILCREA know how important it is to ensure all new homebuyers understand what their rights and responsibilities are,” said realtor Monica Vera of Century 21 Atria Realty and member of the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). “The information provided by Tarion helps outline exactly what new homebuyers can expect. This is another way we continue to serve all our clients with integrity and professionalism.”Tarion has already released homeowner resources in Punjabi, Mandarin, French and Farsi and will soon be publishing more resources in additional languages.For the past 40 years, Tarion has been enhancing confidence in the new home buying experience. Tarion is a private, not-for-profit corporation that administers the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, and backstops the warranty coverage. We set the standards for builder licensing and after sales service and step in when your builder cannot or will not fulfill their warranty obligations. Since 1976, Ontario’s new home warranty program has registered close to two million homes and paid out hundreds of millions of dollars in warranty claims. Our mandate is to serve the public interest, and is what guides us every day.tarion.com
