From Independent Home Inspector to the No. 1 Home Inspection Company in North America, This Expert Knew the Next Step

(Savannah, GA) Bloomingdale resident Scott Collins spent some 30 odd years doing renovations and repairs on homes. He enjoyed it so much he became a certified home inspector and started his own company doing inspections, along with his repairs and renovations on homes all around the area. He was popular with customers for his reliability and integrity.

“My clients knew they could count on me to not only do the right thing by them but to sometimes show them shortcuts and DIY solutions to certain projects to save them money. Business was good, but it’s difficult to run an independent home inspection company. I wanted the network and business family that Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® had to offer.

“Everyone in the home inspection industry knows who they are and their great reputation, shared Scott. “This is why I thought I’d take all my skills and apply them with the strength of an excellent brand name behind me. I got even more. As I went through training, I realized I was part of a big team. Franchisees share information and experiences with each other because they are not competitors. They are colleagues doing the same work but in different markets. Scott now runs his own Pillar To Post business and serves The Coastal Empire and Greater Savannah Area.

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 Scott. “No one needs surprises with what they are spending to buy a home in today’s market.”

And as far as choosing home inspection as a new career, 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.

Another of the many reasons Scott chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the innovative technologies the company introduced in the past 18 months. 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.

“With these differentiators,” explained Scott, “we become less about checking a box in the home ownership process, and more about bringing meaningful solutions to the table to drive confident home ownership. I am excited to see new homeowners taking home repairs and renovations in their own hands. There is so much information and education out there now to help them be successful and save money.”

When asked what he would say to someone who wants to start a business or buy a franchise Scott responded. “My advice to anyone thinking of going on their own is DO IT! Take the leap! It isn’t easy, but it is the most rewarding experience. You will never work harder in your life, while enjoying the sweet fruit of success from the tree you planted and nurtured.”
