Business and Professional

(Wake County, NC) You could say Jared Martin has finally found his career "home." As a long time, resident and native of Wake County, he struggled for years trying to find the perfect fit for his future. Now Wake County will be his territory as a new franchisee with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, North America's largest home inspection company.

"Wake County is HOME," said Jared. "I have lived here for 35+ years of my 40 years. I am the son of a 42-year Navy veteran. My parents served the Triangle Area as educators for 25 years, each as a vocational teacher. They instilled in me a solid need to serve my community with their two professions. I was raised with a powerful sense of community responsibility and participation. This led me to participate in the political theater as a campaign treasurer and I continue to remain active in the Sons of the American Legion. I currently serve as squadron commander and post's bugle officer as bugle officer. As bugler, it has been my honor to continue to serve my community and its members in ceremonies and celebrations and the honor of final farewell to our Veteran heroes."

Jared now runs his own Pillar To Post Home Inspectors business that recently launched. He earned an associate degree in Architectural Technologies with additional studies in landscape design and certificates in CAD and 3D architecture by 2018. The education took four years as Jared worked in retail. "In the end" continued Jared, "the traditional architectural role was too much sitting in the cubicle and not enough being part of the community that sculpts and molds architecture. It's still a part of who am and one day I may consider returning to some measure of practice as an independent architect."

Home inspection as a craft and trade is booming. These are industry facts: The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, has a current market size of $4.9 billion according to global research firm IBISWorld.

Simple math quickly demonstrates that a home inspection is money well-spent when making what is typically the largest single investment most people will ever make. That's one piece of advice that's hard to argue," said Jared. "No one needs surprises with what they are spending to buy a home in today's market."

Another of the many reasons Jared chose Pillar to Post Home Inspectors is the innovative technologies the company introduced in the past two years. These advanced technologies, along with the proven 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. The package is now known as the Ultimate Home Inspection and it's revolutionizing the home inspection industry. So much so that the company was just awarded the much-coveted Best Innovators by Franchise Update Media in the category of "best customer service tools."

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.

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.

"In the end homes are like children, pets and cars," explained Jared, "they can't explain how they are feeling; this is why we have doctors, veterinarians, and mechanics; the home inspector is no different. I look forward to the day that long-time home-owners leverage home inspectors. Just like an annual check-up at the doctor, home inspections every year or two can bring fresh solutions, often money-saving ones, to existing home-owners to help them understand how healthy their home is, and where attention may be required. Having that report handy will also put that home in a much better position to be sold.
