(SACRAMENTO, CA) --"One thing I know for sure," says Ryan Hartsoch, a new franchise owner with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the largest home inspection company in North America. "Don't skip your home inspection during this seller's market." The Rocklin resident is celebrating the February launch of his franchise and serves homebuyers, sellers, and REALTORS® throughout the Greater Sacramento area.
They say once a teacher, always a teacher and that certainly applies to Hartsoch, who before joining Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, was a school principal at three different secondary schools and, prior to that, a teacher. He believes his background will be a strong asset in his new career because it's also true that an educated homebuyer is a smart homebuyer. "I believe that educating the client, both the homebuyer and realtor, is the primary job of a home inspector, so I see myself as a natural fit in that regard," Hartsoch said.
Hartsoch discovered Pillar To Post Home Inspectors while researching the home inspection industry and came away impressed with its sterling reputation. "I chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors because I thought it was the industry leader, offered the most value and aligned best with my values," Hartsoch said.
Pillar To Post Home Inspectors' innovative technologies and business model provides 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:
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.
Virtual Open Houses make it easy for REALTORS® to present their listings in a high-quality, 360-degree virtual open house format while also allowing prospective buyers to tour a home at their own pace. By transforming listings into a navigable, walk-through experience, Virtual Open Houses increase visibility while reducing the interruptions of in-person showings.
Pillar To Post Home Inspectors has achieved the highest standing in various rankings of "Best in Category," "Top 20 Franchises to Buy," "Top 10 Global Franchises" and "Top Franchises for Veterans," in addition to achieving 5-Star status with VetFran, a program offered by the International Franchise Association that provides discounted franchise fees to veterans. A professional evaluation both inside and outside the home is at the core of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors' service. Pillar To Post Home Inspectors input data and digital photos into a computerized report. All information is provided to clients in a customized binder for easy reference, allowing homebuyers or sellers to make confident, informed decisions.
"My goal is to be seen as an industry leader and expert in the area," said Hartsoch, who is also certified in mold and pool/spa inspections. "My previous career was very much community facing and I was very comfortable in that role. I want to have the same kind of positive community impact in the community by being visible and contributing to the community in which I serve."
