Former Air Force officer Brian O’Rear has achieved another major milestone in the short tenure of his new business in the home inspection industry. Brian and his team of inspectors have recently surpassed 1,000 inspections, putting him in an elite group who has accomplished this milestone in less than 3 years.
Brian spent 22 years in the United States Air Force flying fighter jets and the B-2 stealth bomber, fighting in four American wars. After flying in the very first strikes in post 9/11 attacks and setting the world record for the longest combat mission in history, Brian decided to return to Louisville and follow his entrepreneurial dream, opening a HomeTeam Inspection Service through the VetFran program.
“The whole process was really, really smooth,” said O’Rear, one of 14 veterans who own a HomeTeam franchise. “HomeTeam uses several specialists to inspect homes and commercial buildings, a concept that appealed to me as a former B-2 squadron commander.”
HomeTeam has been a proud member of the IFA’s VetFran program for a number of years and was named to GI Jobs 2012 Military Friendly Franchise List. “I understand the power of teams, and I understand leadership so it was a pretty easy sell for me.” says Brian O’Rear.
“High level energetic leaders who are self-motivated, enjoy networking, and enjoy serving others tend to succeed in this industry” said Greg Haskett, VP of Operations for HomeTeam.
