Franchisee Profile: Colin Conroy of Pompano Beach, FL

Location: Pompano Beach, FL

Q: Where are you originally from?
A: I was working for a car-rental agency in Australia where I met my wife. I moved with her to Pompano Beach in Florida and have been there ever since.

Q: How did you learn about HomeTeam? A: After moving to the States, a friend invited me to open a home inspection business with him in Cincinnati. As part of my due diligence, I explored the company’s competitors, one of which was HomeTeam. Initially, I thought the concept involved team-based inspections which made them stand out, as I had always thought of an inspection service as a one man job. I began looking into franchising opportunities and saw they had 10 locations available on the Florida coast where I was already living. Since I was looking for a big business and not just a single franchise, this was perfect.

Q: What are some career milestones for you? Is there anything unique about your business?
A: I’ve been among the top three franchises for HomeTeam all 14 years that I’ve been open, and the number one franchise five times. My locations were the first to reach 2,500 inspections a year and we were also the first to do a $42 million home. I’ve really embraced the “One call does it all” mentality by sending four people on every inspection: a licensed roofing inspector, a licensed termite inspector, a licensed heating and cooling tech and one other, often myself. I also have over 50 specialists I can call on, ranging from sea wall divers to elevator technicians, so I can meet any need a client may have.
