Home Inspections Done Right for Over 40 Years

We pretty much invented the home inspection industry.

The HouseMaster home and building inspection franchise system was founded in 1979. Since then, we have grown to over 300 locally owned and operated offices across North America. Our trusted team of inspectors has collectively performed over 2.5 million inspections for prospective homebuyers.

HouseMaster is far and away, the premier brand in the field. We've helped millions of home buyers and sellers make informed decisions by consistently offering the highest-rated inspections in the category. We know first-hand that home is where the heart is – our franchise owners ensure it every day.

A Promising Future Driven by Increasing Demand

It is no secret that a U.S. housing shortage has driven home prices higher in many areas of the country over the past few years. And the work-from-home revolution has fueled worker migration, keeping home resale activity exceptionally strong. As a result, by Nov. 22, 2021, realtors predicted full-year sales of previously owned homes to exceed 6 million, the highest number since 2006. 

We expect the demand for home inspections to grow with industry organizations like the National Association of Realtors and the American Society of Home Inspectors continuing to educate buyers and sellers on the importance of these services. 

Benefits of Owning a Home Service Franchise Like Home Inspection

Owning a home services franchise, like a home inspection business, can come with several meaningful benefits, including: 

1. Speed to Get Up and Running. You will get to build your business much faster, thanks to the tools and support provided by the franchise. This allows you to start your business with a trusted name and time-tested operating procedures.  
2. Tap into Existing Customers. Opening a home services franchise within the Neighborly^® family of brands, provides for an introduction of your new business to the brands’ existing customers in the market.
3. No Need for Permanent Office. A significant benefit of operating a home services business is keeping expenses and overhead low by working from home.
4. Affordability. Launching a franchise is often a lot more affordable than starting your business from the ground up. With HouseMaster, as part of Neighborly^®, we are excited to offer franchise owners the opportunity for membership in our preferred vendor discount and rebate program. ProTradeNet^® is an asset that greatly differentiates us from our competitors. With the power of this program, we can offer supplies and products to our franchise owners at discounted prices not available to independent business owners. In addition, we offer a rebate program, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of annual rebates systemwide.
5. Established Operating Systems. With a home services franchise, you get access to systems that have worked time and time again. Established technologies can manage accounting, marketing, and admin tasks.
