Over the 20 years that HomeTeam Inspection Service has been in business, they have continued to add ancillary services like pest, mold and radon testing in order to provide consumers with a “One Call Does It All” place for inspection services. This philosophy has been key in HomeTeam’s professional reputation in the markets it serves.
Even in the down economy, HomeTeam Inspection Service keeps abreast of the trends and recently has added a service which will keep its franchisees profitable and provide value-added services to the consumer. This year, HomeTeam provided certification to all Florida-based franchisees in Wind Storm Mitigation Inspections.
In 2007, the Florida legislature passed a house bill (#7057) which requires insurance companies to give discounts to home owners who have certain mitigation features included in their home. There is a 9-point checklist which a certified home inspector must fill out in order for the home owner to qualify. Home inspectors are required to be certified in this specialized inspection in order for the home owner to receive the insurance discount, which requires the inspector to fill out a form on the mitigation features of the home and take photos for proof.
There is such a large market for this inspection as a result of the passing of the legislative bill in Florida that HomeTeam Inspection Service has trained all of its Florida-based franchisees on how to perform this inspection and will be rolling it out to other franchisees throughout the system as well as other states adopt similar bills.
“HomeTeam ensures that its franchisees are equipped to professionally handle all issues related to the home inspection industry,” said Greg Haskett, VP of Shared Services. “Not only does our adding services help the consumer, it also puts money into the pockets of our franchisees.”
