(Pittsburgh, PA)-- "One piece of advice I know I can give," said Ted Tamura, new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. "Don't skip your home inspection, no matter what, in this hot sellers' market." Having launched operations on May 2, Tamura serves homebuyers, sellers, and realtors in Beaver, Allegheny, Washington, Greene, and Fayette counties.
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 Tamura 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 include:
PTP360, which 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.
PTPFloorPlan 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.
"I was really impressed by the competitive advantages in technology and reporting systems that Pillar To Post Home Inspectors had over other industry competitors," Tamura said.
That should come as no surprise given Tamura's background, which includes working as a financial manager for top global financial institutions for more than 32 years in Japan and then in the U.S. as a managing director and business leader.
"I believe the skills acquired in my previous career such as fact- and data-driven critical thinking, communication, and leadership transfer well to the home inspection business and will prove very valuable," Tamura said.
A sure sign of Tamura's attention to detail – and a strong assurance for prospective clients – is that when asked to talk about his hobbies and interests outside of work he doesn't mention golf, travel or music, but instead mentions his interest in "data analysis using programming language R," which is used for data experimentation and exploration. Ted is tech!
