About
A Buyer's Choice
Driven by a passion to raise the bar in what a property buyer, seller and their REALTOR® should expect from a professional inspector, we believe that by equipping Inspectors with the most up-to-date and comprehensive training we ensure that all our franchisees are on the leading edge of their industry.
Our journey started in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2005 by a Real Estate veteran who was tired of encountering unprofessional and unqualified home inspectors. After just two years, we became the largest home inspection franchise in the country.
In 2010, the company moved home office to Pompano Beach Florida and began its US and International Expansion. The company continues to expand throughout the US, Canada, and worldwide.
We are innovation and thought leaders who are comfortable with impacting change.
We bring comprehensive training to ensure your success
Unit Franchise Training
Pre-Training
Pre-Training involves a period of guided home study; we walk you through the entire process to get you ready for the next stage. Our business coaching begins the day that you sign your franchise agreement and ramps up while you prepare for our Home Inspector Boot Camp.
Home Inspector Boot Camp
This is an intensive interactive course at our head office. Your professional trainers will guide you through all technical subjects pertaining to inspecting, including customer service, field training, marketing, business law, operations, staffing, and all relevant business topics in order to successfully operate your business.
It concludes with participation of actual customer inspections and a test inspection, followed by graduation ceremonies and a certificate of completion.
Home Market Training
After graduating from boot camp, you are then guided through our mentoring program which includes an ongoing weekly training call which continues for a minimum of 6 months. Upon completion of our comprehensive and jam-packed training you will feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment and confidence to operate and succeed in your new business.
Our follow-up support and training is unique to the industry. Our program walks you through the challenges of new business ownership by providing telephone and email technical support, as well as marketing training in your home territory with on-site support from your Regional Manager – all designed to ramp up your business efficiently and quickly!
The franchisee is also required to complete ongoing education and refresher training annually, as well as our educationally based annual conference.

Industry Trends
From the late 1990s and into the first part of this century, the home inspection industry has been growing by leaps and bounds. As the demands of the home buying public and the regulations regarding real estate have evolved, more and more people have been turning to home inspectors whenever they undertake real estate transactions.
In fact, today almost 95% of home sales involve the services of a home inspector. These services improve consumer confidence and lead to an increase in the success rate of home sales. These days, home buyers know that a home inspection improves the chances that they are making the right decision when buying a new home.
A Home Inspection business also provides other benefits. You can work from a home office, therefore eliminating one of the main expenses of traditional businesses. You don’t need to spend a lot of money acquiring inventory, nor do you need to deal with hiring and managing staff, doing payroll, or other human resource issues.
