HOMETEAM INSPECTION SERVICE
HomeTeam Inspection Service franchises provide professional building inspection services, primarily whole-house inspections for single-family homes and certain multi-family residential buildings, to report on the general condition and identify major defects. Franchisees target home buyers, sellers, and owners, securing business directly and through referrals from real estate agents, relocation companies, banks, attorneys, appraisers, and mortgage lenders. The business model emphasizes team-based inspections with at least two inspectors per job, proprietary management software, branded vehicles and uniforms, and building local brand recognition to differentiate from competitors.
