Melissa’s Story

Melissa Boggs has enjoyed a long career in the professional services industry, starting out as a loss prevention team leader for Target and then establishing herself as a respected home inspector. So when her father was ready to sell his HouseMaster® franchise, Melissa knew it was her chance to lead her own company in an industry where she had deep expertise.

In 2021, she took over HouseMaster of Knoxville and has focused on growing and expanding the business ever since.

Melissa said she chose franchise ownership over starting a new business because Neighborly® and HouseMaster are such well-known brands. And while Neighborly’s franchise support system for HouseMaster is a competitive differentiator, she’s also realized that working with the franchise means much more.

“In my time working with my dad, and since then, I found HouseMaster to not just be another franchise,” she said, “It’s a family.”
