Home Inspection Franchise

Home inspection franchises work with other businesses in an effort to coordinate the purchase of a house for an owner and to ensure that the owner has made an informed decision about their purchase. A home inspection franchise can be bought by anyone interested in helping homeowners make that informed decision. Usually an inspection is the only one that qualifies a house for resell. If the house passes an inspection, then the buyer can rest easy knowing that they haven't bought a money pit.

Some states have no legal parameters for regulating the process, so it is up to the reputation and standards of specific businesses to make them. A home inspection franchise should have a proven track record with proven success in the business. Publication statistics suggest that over 90% of homes need this service before a purchase is made. This makes home inspection franchises a very lucrative business. All that is needed is the ability and willingness to work with people.

The most successful businesses are those that have developed a trust relationship with real estate professionals and clients who both refer them. Satisfied buyers and sellers also refer a home inspection franchise to others. Word of mouth is the most popular means of advertising. These businesses must set high quality standards for their owners and their employees. Since all states have different certification requirements for inspectors, most national home inspection franchises have required training for their home inspectors that surpass each states industry standards. Joshua 2:14 says, "And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee."

This type of business provides extensive operational, marketing, and technical training. The parent company stays updated on all policy changes and industry rules and regulations to provide the best service possible. There are also affiliate services that help independent business owners team up with a nationally recognized and trusted name to promote business in their area. Home inspection franchises can be independently owned hiring home inspectors, or can be a network of professionals from around the nation under one umbrella business. They must all adhere to the same standards and usually receive exclusive territorial areas. It is recommended that anyone interested in purchasing a home inspection franchise check the franchise's rating with the BBB or Better Business Bureau.
