About Us

Home Equity Guard Inc. is a leading provider of innovative Home Equity Protection (HEP) contracts which are designed to help home owners manage their real estate risk.  The contracts compensate homeowners in the event of a market decline across major metropolitan centres including Boston, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington D.C..

Homeowners are able to buy Home Equity Guard’s HEP contract when they are acquiring or refinancing their property. Homeowners are then able to make a claim for compensation under the HEP contract if they sell their property at a time when local real estate prices have declined since the time when the HEP contract was bought. When this happens, Home Equity Guard makes a cash payment to the homeowner to compensate them for the decline in the local real estate prices. Local real estate prices are measured by the S&P Case Shiller Index. To meet its liabilities, Home Equity Guard exercises a range of risk management strategies including portfolio management, hedging, securitization and insurance.

Home Equity Guard Inc.  is a privately held company based in Washington DC. It is managed by a team of sophisticated professionals with years of experience in finance, insurance, law and real estate investments. To find out more, or to request a quote, contact our friendly sales team.
