He's a Navy Veteran: She's a Property Management Pro: They Bring the No. 1 Home Inspection Company to the Phoenix Metro Area
(Phoenix, AZ)- Lonnie and Tanya Carter, a dynamic couple with over two decades of experience in healthcare compliance and property management, have announced their exciting new venture as new owners of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the leading home inspection company in North America. Known as the Carter Team, they will serve the Greater Phoenix area and other areas within Maricopa and Pinal Counties.
Lonnie spent 20 years serving in the healthcare compliance field and Tanya worked for the same period of time in the property management industry. “The roles which I have been involved in, “said Lonnie, included conducting building and work audits for compliance. This translates very well to home inspections. I have an eye for detail and am passionate about safety. Before that I was in the Navy and served our country as a Corpsman stationed at the US Naval Academy. I was in for six years before going back to school to earn my degrees, a Bachelors in Community Health and a Masters Degree in Public Health.”
Lonnie and Tanya are embarking on a new journey that combines their passion for safety, attention to detail, and customer service. Their decision to join Pillar To Post as franchisees marks a significant shift from their previous careers, driven by a desire to build a meaningful business together.
Lonnie and Tanya bring a unique blend of military precision and housing market savvy to their new roles. Their combined expertise positions them to provide unparalleled home inspection services to their community.
The couple’s shared vision and values led them to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, a franchise known for its commitment to excellence and community impact. As new franchisees, Lonnie and Tanya are excited to leverage their professional experiences to create a thriving business that will support their family and serve their community for years to come.
The couple advises would-be entrepreneurs to seek opportunities that align with your values and vision. “Find your fit, and you’ll find your future,” says Lonnie. “Pillar To Post felt like home to us, and we’re thrilled to be part of it.”
This is a testament to the power of reinvention and the pursuit of entrepreneurial dreams. Lonnie and Tanya’s story is one of dedication, service, and the creation of a lasting legacy. As they begin their journey with Pillar To Post, they invite the community to join them in building a safer and more informed future, one home inspection at a time.
“And don’t ever skip your home inspection,” warned Lonnie.
According to Clever Real Estate, a website that helps people locate real estate agents, 72 percent of homebuyers who purchased in 2021 or 2022, when the housing market was inflated due to Covid-19 and people rushed to win the bid for the “ideal house” by skipping home inspections and other contingencies. A large percentage have regrets over their home purchase. The most common factors that contributed to their remorse were spending too much money and rushing into buying.
Clever’s survey also found that almost half of homebuyers – 43 percent – made financial concessions like waiving a home inspection amid fierce competition for homes, according to CNBC. And skipping that home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house. Two-thirds of respondents said those fixes cost more than $1,000, said the CNBC report.
