(Bloomington, Indiana-June 20) "One piece of advice I know I can give," said Richard Hull a Bloomington resident and the new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving the area “Don't skip your home inspection, no matter what, in this hot sellers' market."
The post-horror stories of skipping a home inspection are coming out daily. So many that Pillar To Post has been encouraging “post buy" inspections with great tips on how and why buyers need them.
Richard Hull and his wife moved to Bloomington to help aging parents. After a satisfying Naval career, Hull went on to become a manager at a manufacturing plant for a decade. He admits “I was done with that whole experience and was looking for a new one when I came upon Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. After speaking to
many of their franchisees I learned that they had a terrific group of franchisees, great training and an ongoing
support system that works."
As far as choosing home inspection as a new career, these are industry facts. 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.
One of the many reasons Hull chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, 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. The package is now known as the Ultimate Home Inspection. It consists of:
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.
“I am encouraging my grown kids to help out with some remote tasks and eventually maybe one or more of them will join the business," said Hull, whose wife plans to eventually join as an administrator. "Right now we
just love Bloomington as a community and hope to get more involved with many activities here, not the least of
which is making homes much safer and enjoyable for new homeowners."
