HomeTeam Franchise Reports 10% Revenue Growth in 202

CINCINNATI — Even as the real estate market shifts, HomeTeam Inspection Service has continued to grow, with more than 200 locations and a firm foothold in the home inspection industry. With double-digit growth across the system, HomeTeam’s focus on operations and strategic growth has paid off, driving it to outperform the broader market and close the year with a 10 percent increase in year-over-year revenue and over 80 percent of franchise owners seeing business stability or growth compared to last year.

“Every single month of this year was up in revenue over last year; we didn’t have a single ‘down’ month,” said Matt Cook, Director of Operations. “Our entire company is up 10 percent on the year, and 82 percent of our owners are even or up on last year. We’re thrilled to see that level of stability and success across our network.”

In addition to steady revenue growth, HomeTeam grew its footprint throughout the year, welcoming new franchise owners in North Seattle; Northern Virginia; Douglas County, Colorado; Southern Tier, New York; Northwest Indiana; Camden County, New Jersey; Southwest Chicago; and Stockton and East Sacramento, California.

HomeTeam also focused heavily on internal infrastructure in 2025, including significant investments in technology partnerships and the integration of AI-powered defect recognition tools in report-writing software to drive an even more efficient inspection process.

Given the real estate market has largely remained stable and HomeTeam’s performance has continued to climb, and the brand has continued to invest in its teams, processes and systems to strengthen the model nationwide, HomeTeam is positioned for a great 2026.

“We’re seeing transactions increase, and mortgage applications have hit new highs for the year,” Cook said. “All our data suggests a stable winter and a busy spring. This year, for our team, has been focused on rebuilding and revamping so that, when the market comes back strong, we’re already fine-tuned and ready to go.”

Looking toward 2026, Cook says the team continues to build on its momentum for another great year.

“Simply put, next year, we’re looking forward to continued growth,” he said. “We’ll continue to grow our footprint, and we’ll also continue working toward growth as an organization. The industry landscape is changing, and we’re adjusting our strategy to stay ahead of the curve. We’re making significant investments in digital advertising and other initiatives to drive inspection volume independently, ensuring our franchise owners are well-positioned to capture steady revenue regardless of broader industry shifts.”
