(Newport, WA)--"One piece of advice I know I can give,” said Cory Smith, new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving Pend Oreille, Stevens, and Ferry counties in Washington State; Bonner and Boundary counties in Idaho, “Don't skip your home inspection, no matter what, in this hot sellers' market.” No truer words according to a recent Investopedia article that gives you 10 Reasons Not to Skip a Home Inspection. As far as choosing home inspection as a new career, these are industry facts. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to global research firm IBISWorld.

One of the many reasons Cory chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the largest home inspection company in North America, is the new technologies the company recently introduced. These advanced technologies, along with the business model, provide an exceptional home inspection with unique and innovative features that are all delivered within a seamless brand experience. All developed pre-pandemic and ready to be utilized when the pandemic struck, the new features further highlight Pillar To Post Home Inspectors' standing as a visionary in its industry. They are:

• PTP360 is available with every home inspection and provides an interactive, 360-degree visual inspection summary that brings the inspection report to life and includes every room and a home's exterior. It can be accessed anywhere, anytime from any device and shared with family or contractors.
• PTPEstimates provides a cost estimate for inspection summary items. This upgrade is extremely useful for sellers who do a pre-listing inspection, letting them learn what recommended repairs will cost based on prices charged in their area. Estimates can be requested with one click.
• PTPFloor Plan provides an accurate floor plan of the entire home. This useful upgrade can be used to determine furniture fit and placement, and also provide exact dimensions to contractors for estimating purposes.
• PTPHomeManual is an upgraded service that provides a digital owner's manual for a home, letting users download manuals/warranty information, find safety recalls on appliances, learn the age and useful remaining life of systems and much more.

Cory, whose background includes 15 years in automotive and heavy truck part sales, hopes to eventually evolve his Pillar To Post into a family business.

“My past work experience taught me about great customer service and relationships and Pillar To Post Home Inspectors' training emphasizes those key points as well.

“We think we will be a great asset to our community,” Cory said. “I am an outdoors kind of guy and love living here in Newport and riding mountain bikes and hiking with my family.”
