Are you a first time business owner?
No. Prior to opening HomeTeam, I worked as a general contractor and owned a construction business.

How did you learn about the brand?
When I joined the system 16 years ago, there was really no research to be done on the concept. It was a relatively new professional industry and there were only about 40 other franchises across the country. I spoke directly with the founder of HomeTeam and learned about the team approach and why that stood out in the industry. By providing a team to do a home inspection, the time required to complete a project was cut down dramatically and the quality of inspection increased because you had multiple sets of eyes to look over each area of the house.

Why was this brand the right fit for you?
HomeTeam was definitely the right fit because opening a home inspection service was similar to being a general contractor. We look at the whole picture, from air conditioning to termites. HomeTeam provides a professional approach to home inspections and by using a team method we are able to cut our service time in half compared to any of our competitors.

How have you been able to connect with the local community?
We currently sponsor the Women’s Council of Realtors of Florida, which has one of the largest memberships in the country. By creating a relationship with the WCR we are active participants in their meetings and conventions to help make our services known across the state.

What have been some career milestones for you/your business?
Since opening HomeTeam Inspection in 1994, we have conducted over 28,000 home inspections in the Tampa Bay area and created a good reputation for our services. We currently have three teams of made up of four experts that go on each home visit. We pride ourselves on the phenomenal team system that we have developed over the years with HomeTeam and the unmatched quality of our service.
