TL;DR
Pillar To Post Home Inspectors added 15 new franchisees in the first quarter of 2022, driven by increased demand for home inspections and the company's state-of-the-art technologies. The U.S. building inspector industry is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to IBISWorld.
“We’ve signed on 15 new franchisees since January of this year,” said Harpal Kalsi, the company’s Vice President of Franchise Development.
“When we went through the pandemic and the sellers’ market boomed there were lots of articles circulating warning buyers not to skip home inspections,” added Dan Steward, President and CEO of Pillar To Post. “The after effect for those who didn’t heed that advice has increased the need for more home inspectors. That fact, coupled with our latest technologies that allow “contactless” home inspections, doubled our franchisee inquiries from pre-pandemic days.”
In addition, the U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to global research firm IBISWorld.
When surveyed many of the new franchisees stated that the state-of-the-art technologies, the thorough training, and certification programs, and the ‘family feeling’ of the Pillar To Post network, drove their choice to join the company.
