OP, how old is the house? If only a year or 2, I would press home warranty again. The french drain is probably the least cost 'solution', but this keeps the low spot in place. It seems the better solution would be to have the sod removed, ground added to raise the area so water naturally drains away from the house, and sod reinstalled. Next Dimension did something like this for our neighbors. I would contact 3 or more landscapers, use ones that advertise in the paper, get estimates from each, NO money up front, check with seniors against crime.
On a side note, you may need ARC approval for a french drain, not sure about adding ground to raise the lawn. probably a good idea to call and ask.
