Veteran Tradesman Brings Expertise to Largest Home Inspection Brand

(Kansas City, MO)-Billy Hass decided it was finally time for him to set off on his own path in his working career, but he couldn’t have two better role models guiding him along the way as he begins a new chapter for himself and his family. This January, the 36-year-old Smithville. Mo., resident launched operations as an owner within the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® network, the largest home inspection franchise in North America. Hass serves homebuyers and sellers throughout Kansas City, Platte City, Smithville, Blue Springs, Liberty, Kearney and St. Joseph, Mo.

Hass’s father is a successful business owner, as was his late father-in-law, who owned a masonry and concrete restoration company. “My dad always told me that he wanted me to do better than he did, and naturally, I have the same goals for my children. I just tell them I’m setting the bar high,” said Hass, who along with his wife, are the parents of four boys, ages 16, 6, 4 and one.

Hass spent many years working for his father-in-law as a brick stonemason, where he earned a reputation for his skill and reliability. “They would send me out on my own most of the time because they trusted me to get the work done,” said Hass, who also did many side projects. “I did lots of side projects on residential homes for people who couldn’t find brick masons because no one wants to work hard anymore. I have always thought of others before myself and made sure what they needed was what they got. I care for people and letting them down is not a part of me. I make sure they are safe and satisfied with the work I have done.”

Hass is bringing that same dedication to his new career and his timing 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.

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, (a site that matches consumers with Realtors) 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 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.

“In my 20-year construction career, I have worked on hundreds of properties in the greater Kansas City area from schools and condos all the way to Fort Riley Army Base,” Hass said. “I have always loved working for myself and knowing what needs to be done in different situations. I couldn’t be better prepared to help homebuyers and sellers with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.”
