HomeTeam Franchisee Beth Klepper’s Success in Myrtle Beach

Beth Klepper, a former general manager and regional training manager with Landry’s Seafood House, found herself unemployed after 25 successful years due to the pandemic. She decided to become her own boss with a HomeTeam Inspection Service franchise in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Klepper has personally undertaken more than a thousand inspections and has proven her worth and talent to herself and to the homeowners she serves. She has also broken stereotypes by being a female home inspector in a male-dominated industry.

• The perceived notion is that there's a man behind every inspection.
• When Klepper goes out and tells people that she's the licensed inspector, they’re often surprised and even excited about that.
• Some of them can't believe it. Even when they call her back to book an inspection, they say ‘when he goes out, can you let him know this,’ and it's pretty unbelievable that people just assume that all home inspectors are men.

Klepper feels proud of the work she’s doing, both in inspecting homes and in breaking stereotypes. She has also made it her mission to empower other female entrepreneurs whenever she can.

• We need to raise each other up. This reiterates that women can do it. Whatever it is. We can do it.

Klepper started looking for a job after being let go from Landry’s Seafood House. A franchise coach helped her realize that her skill set would serve her well on an entrepreneurial journey. She decided to become a franchisee with HomeTeam Inspection Service.

• The industry interested me and the investment was also a lot less than some of the other concepts I looked at because I didn’t need a brick-and-mortar building.

Klepper has had a very successful start with her business and hopes to continue growing. She wants to empower her children to take over the business in the future.
