Company History
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!
An Increasing Demand
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!

following services:- Pre-Listing Inspections
