One piece of advice I know I can give," said Luis Guzman, new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving Pima, Santa Cruz, and Cochise Counties in Arizona. "Don't skip your home inspection, no matter what, in this hot sellers' market."
Luis has a dream background for the new career he has chosen. He shared, "I have a solid background in construction with more than 20 years of experience. I have a bachelor's degree in Architecture and a master's degree in Administration. I was a Construction and Development Director for a Development Company in Mexico and the last 5 years! worked in the same position for two different universities." Luis knows his stuff. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to global research firm IBISWorld. "I was planning to start up my own business in either the construction or real estate area," Luis continued. "While studying to get a realtor license I came upon the Pillar To Post Home Inspectors franchise opportunity and realized my profile and experience suited this career the best."
One of the many reasons Luis chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the largest home inspection company in North America, is the innovative technologies the company recently introduced. These advanced technologies, along with the 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.
They are:
- 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.
- PTPFloor Plan 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.
Luis says he eventually would like his wife to join him in the business and have several home inspectors on the team.
Guzman said proudly. "We will offer the best service...a home inspection service Realtors can trust, not just because of the Pillar To Post inspection standards and training, but because we pay attention to the Realtor's clients. We are easy to book, and deliver the information on-time and on-site in such a way that the client understands completely so they can just love their new house without worry. And we will do it bilingually!"
