"I suppose working for the FBI sharpened my skills to spot anything out of place", said Joseph Lowery, smiling because his PIllar To Post Home Inspectors is doing very well after only one year. The franchise owned by Joseph and his wife, serves Richmond, Virginia, and counties in and around it.
"Even through my other careers," Joseph said, "I always liked real estate, and in fact, I was a part-time Realtor for years. I got to learn the ins and outs of what makes home buyers and sellers excited and happy. Most of it was customer service that I gave them very pointedly. This is something emphasized strongly in the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors franchise system, so it was a great match for me."
Too young and energetic for retirement, Joseph decided home inspection was for him and the facts of the market prove his choice to be a good one. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, has a market size of $4.9 billion, according to global research firm IBISWorld.
One of the many reasons Joseph chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the largest home inspection company in North America, is the innovative 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. Suffice to say, the recent technologies created by the company give customers a state-of-the-art experience that served everyone very well through the pandemic and beyond. The package is known as the Ultimate Home Inspection and it is so much so that it received a coveted "Franchise Innovation Winner" award from Franchise Update Magazine for "most innovated self-service tools for the consumer" for 2022.
"We are very community-oriented," Joseph concluded. "We are very involved in community engagement. It's one of the reasons my wife and I settled on where we wanted to live, and to run an excellent business together. We plan to make our Pillar To Post Home Inspectors of Richmond another great asset to the community and are already doing so.
"The past year has been amazing. We provided back packs full of school supplies to elementary students in need. In 2023 I plan to double the number of back packs I donated in 2022. Giving back to the community that supports me is particularly important to me. In 2023 I look forward to expanding my business and helping others in their home buying endeavors as well as those in the community. It is my goal to eventually offer multiple college scholarships to high school seniors."
