(El Paso, TX)--- One thing I know for sure," says Cesar Mendoza, a new franchise owner with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, "Don't skip your home inspection during this seller's market." Mendoza launched operations in January, serving homebuyers, sellers and REALTORS® throughout El Paso County.
Mendoza possesses traits that dovetail nicely as requisites for a home inspector. He considers himself a natural leader, he has strong technical skills and has experience as a teacher – for which he received some wonderful recognition – which will serve him well in explaining the myriad details of a home inspection to his clients. "I always enjoy taking responsibility and managing a team. However, I also enjoy doing things by myself. I've been told from my previous jobs that people can learn to trust me after one or two conversations. I always take care of my customers and try to give them the best experience possible," said Mendoza, who will also offer pool and irrigation system inspections.
Mendoza spent 10 years as an automotive technician before transitioning to become an automotive instructor for the past four years, which included being named Instructor of the Year at Western Technical College during his first year. "I have a very strong technical background and the inspection part of my business will be my strength," said Mendoza, who has done his fair share of home improvement projects, from small jobs to full remodels.
When Mendoza began a search for new business opportunities, he was drawn to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors because he felt it offered the most comprehensive and proven system for franchisees to become successful. And, indeed, technology coupled with deep knowledge, allows Pillar To Post Home Inspectors to 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:
PTP360 is available with every home inspection and provides an interactive, 360-degree visual inspection summary that literally 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 very 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 literally 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.
And it should come as no surprise that even when Mendoza isn't doing home inspections for his clients, his technical skills are always being put to good use, especially for the benefit of a certain five-year old.
"I love racing. I watch all the NASCAR and Formula 1 races with my kids. I also enjoy going to the local dirt track on the weekends," Mendoza said. "As a family, we modify Power Wheels with bigger batteries and stronger motors. My five-year-old drives them and enjoys the adrenaline of going fast."
