A Day in the Life
What to Expect As a Home Inspection Franchise Owner
When considering a business venture, prospective owners often want to know what they should expect from one day to the next. At HomeTeam Inspection Service, a day in the life of one of our franchise owners will vary from one day to the next depending on what stage of business they are in.
For example, during the first year or two, our home inspection franchise owners are much more hands-on with the day-to-day operations. Until they build a team that operates independently from the owner’s daily involvement, which will take some time, they wear quite a few hats. Often, they are the main inspector on the first team, the salesmen, the manager, and so on.
What to Expect
As inspections increase and your business is a bit more established, we will help you hire a team to handle the daily operations of the business. At this point, you will then be able to remove yourself from the daily operations and focus on business growth and development. You’ll also have more time to focus on sales and managing your teams.
These are just a few of the examples, and within each is just a general overview of what you can expect. Every day may hold something different, so you need to be ready to adapt as a HomeTeam franchise owner. This is part of what makes being part of our home inspection franchise family so exciting.

Technical Training
The vast majority of our owners, who have purchased a franchise in the last 5 years, come from industries outside of home inspections, real estate, or construction. With that knowledge, obviously home inspection technical training is very important to us. Our proprietary systems and our industry-leading training program make you ready to inspect a home the first day you open for business!
