Gordon Jones puts considerable thought and effort into everything he does, a quality that served him well when he became an owner within the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® network, the largest home inspection franchise in North America. Serving homebuyers and sellers throughout San Antonio, Jones brings a unique blend of military precision and innovative thinking to his new role.
Jones, a United States Marine Corps veteran, served seven years as a Rifleman, including two deployments: Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. His transition from military service to home inspection is a testament to his adaptability and commitment to excellence.
Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® has been a leader in the home inspection industry, particularly noted for its outstanding and innovative technologies. These advancements were timely, providing the means for contactless home inspections during the pandemic—a critical adaptation that underscored the industry's resilience and responsiveness.
Home inspections have become an indispensable part of the real estate sector, offering buyers and sellers reliable information about the condition and value of properties. Jones, who previously managed his own independent home inspection business, recognized the advantages of joining a reputable franchise network.
“Pillar To Post Home Inspectors has systems in place to evaluate marketing materials and return on investment. They also have the experience of their franchisees to know what will work and what won’t. So, while I’m independent, I’m also part of a large support system. It’s the ideal situation,” Jones explained.
Jones is particularly enthusiastic about the technological advances revolutionizing the home inspection industry. “Not that long ago, a home inspector was just a guy with a clipboard who wrote down things about your house and left,” Jones said. “Now it’s a professional operation: advanced reporting software, virtual tours of the house, thermal imaging cameras, drones zooming around and more. And the technology will only continue to evolve.”
Jones’s journey from the Marine Corps to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® illustrates a seamless integration of discipline, innovation, and a commitment to providing top-notch service. His story is not just about a career change; it's about leveraging skills and experiences to thrive in a new industry, continuously growing and updating to meet the demands of the modern real estate market.
