    HouseMaster® Earning Potential & Investment Overview

    Lower Overhead. High Return Potential.

    Built for efficiency and long-term growth, the HouseMaster franchise model keeps your upfront investment relatively low without cutting corners on support. You’ll gain designated territory rights, a nationally trusted brand name, and ongoing coaching from the Neighborly® network.

    Franchise Revenue Potential

    An industry pioneer, HouseMaster set the standard for home inspection procedures for decades, and that legacy still gives franchise owners a real edge today. Since franchising in 1979, we’ve grown to 250+ locations across North America and built a nationally trusted brand known for award-winning service. That satisfaction is echoed by our franchise owners, who have stayed in their businesses for an average of 13+ years.

     

    Key factors influencing return-on-investment potential can vary based on location, operational efficiency, marketing execution, market demand, and fees. According to Item 19 of the 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document HouseMaster franchise owners reported the following 2025 revenue:
