William Gray and Matt Bott, longtime friends, and former college football teammates, are bringing their combined 45+ years of expertise in finance, real estate, and business leadership to Austin as the owners of The Valor Team, a Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the number one ranked home inspection franchise.
The Valor Team will serve Austin and surrounding counties, including Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Burnet, and Llano. Their services go beyond standard inspections, incorporating digital tools, pre-listing assessments, and virtual consultations to meet the demands of a fast-moving market. With an aging housing inventory and a surge of new residents, William and Matt see an opportunity to elevate expectations—delivering detailed, agent-friendly reports with the professionalism of their finance backgrounds.
With deep roots in the community, William lives in Pflugerville, while Matt has spent years visiting Austin supporting his son, a UT basketball player, they are launching a premium home inspection service designed to support agents and clients with clarity, professionalism, and trust.
William’s 15 years as a mortgage loan officer gave him firsthand insight into the pain points of real estate transactions. He knows how to deliver thorough, timely reports that keep deals moving without unnecessary stress. His approach balances honesty with diplomacy, ensuring clients feel informed while agents appreciate his collaborative mindset. For William, joining Pillar To Post was a natural next step, a chance to own a business alongside Matt, a trusted friend and proven entrepreneur.
Matt brings three decades of executive experience in financial services, including leadership roles as a President and Managing Director. A strategic thinker with a competitive edge, he’s leveraging his business acumen to build a high-end inspection firm that prioritizes seamless service and tech-enabled efficiency. Though based near Denver, Matt’s frequent trips to Austin and his family’s ties to the city made it the ideal market for this venture. Together, he and William are combining their strengths to create a differentiated experience—one that caters to top-tier agents, investors, and discerning homeowners.
