They are Committed to Helping Homebuyers Make Sound Decisions on The Largest Purchase of Their Lives
(Palm Beach Gardens, FL–-There is a certain joy in giving back and that’s exactly what the husband-and-wife team of Dan and Michelle Rigoli are looking to achieve as new owners within the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® network, the largest home inspection franchise in North America. Launching operations in November, the Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., couple will serve homebuyers and sellers throughout Palm Beach and Martin counties.
Dan, 55, spent 30 years as a data solutions professional for organizations across finance, energy, health, education, and food sectors. Michelle worked as a teacher for 10 years in Irvine, Calif., and has volunteered at Loggerhead Marine Life and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre since the couple moved to Florida. Dan wanted to put his understanding of data to work by helping others make better decisions when looking to buy or improve their homes.
“We are at a point where we want to work more directly in our local community. We love meeting people from a variety of backgrounds and geographies and sharing experiences,” Dan said. “It is always a joy helping people learn and get more from life. This business provides an opportunity to do this in our community and help people become more confident in home ownership.”
Dan and Michelle’s timing for launching their new business venture couldn’t be better. Home inspections have become a vital part of the real estate sector, providing buyers and sellers with reliable information about the condition and value of a property. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion according to global research firm IBISWorld. Pillar to Post Home Inspectors has been at the forefront with its outstanding and innovative technologies that were introduced just in time to provide contactless home inspections during the pandemic.
They are a perfect fit for Pillar To Post Home Inspectors and the business model affords them the opportunity to structure the business as they see fit, whether hiring employees or doing it all themselves One thing is certain, they couldn’t be more eager to launch the next chapter of their lives as small business owners and relish the opportunities it will afford them.
Dan has always been handy and “hands-on” when it comes to technology, using drones, infrared (IR) thermography, 360 cameras, and other sensor tools in home inspections. “Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is a clear market leader in driving confident home ownership and ‘Team Rigoli’ wants to remove the unknowns in home ownership for its customers,” Dan said.
Today’s homebuyer – especially in the ever-changing housing market – would be wise to turn to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, given some recent findings. According to Clever Real Estate, 72 percent of homebuyers who purchased in 2021 or 2022 have regrets over their home purchase. The most common factors that contributed to their remorse were spending too much money and rushing into buying.
And there are some other important considerations to mull in addition to a home’s square footage and number of bathrooms. Clever’s survey also found that almost half of homebuyers – 43 percent – made financial concessions like waiving a home inspection amid fierce competition for homes, according to CNBC. And skipping that home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house. Two-thirds of respondents said those fixes cost more than $1,000, said the CNBC report.
“South Florida is receiving a constant influx of new residents,” Dan said. “At the same time, existing homes in our communities are aging and buyers need help identifying and prioritizing. Inspection reports often become the ‘honey-do list.’ Another issue is that insurance is getting out of hand. We want to help people best prepare their homes for safety and get the credits they need to make their money go further.”
