In states where it is not a law for home builders to be a member of HOW (Home Owners Warrenty) is it considered common for builders to decide NOT to join HOW? In other words do GOOD builders continue to join even if they are not required to?

In Maryland it is not required for a builder to honor any other warranty on a new home except the 1 year manufacturing defect warranty that was enacted into law decades ago. Here many of the 'better' builders and lots of the others do the Home Owner's Warranty program, in fact, you see the HOW symbol in lots of real estate advertising here, its a big selling point... -JCP_
