Who We Are
Founded in 1991 as American Home Inspection, we changed our name and began franchising in late 1998. Our franchisees are engaged by consumers, realtors, lenders, relocation companies, investors and others to provide an objective assessment of a property’s major systems and components. They are generalists who identify if further evaluation by a specialist (i.e. plumber, electrician, structural engineer, etc.) is warranted, so previous experience in construction or the trades is not required. Following an inspection, franchisees deliver our proprietary inspection report (either hardcopy, via email, or through our online system), complete with digital photos. Every month our franchised offices perform thousands of inspections in the residential and commercial markets. So if you’re looking for an experienced partner, look no further!
Demand Is Strong And Growing
Approximately 80% of all homes nationwide are inspected prior to closing, and this number is rising! The home inspection has become a standard part of the real estate transaction in most states. But your earning potential extends far beyond just pre-purchase home inspections! Many Inspect-It 1st franchisees also provide the following services:
- Pre-Listing Inspections
- Builder’s Warranty Inspections
- Maintenance Inspections
- Relocation Inspections
- Ancillary Inspections (such as radon, pool/spa, carbon monoxide, etc.)
- Commercial Inspections
