Home Inspection Franchise Opportunity

Business Description

Housemaster is one of the leading home inspection services in the United States. This particular franchise opportunity covers the cities of Aurora, Parker, and Castle Rock. The income potential is unlimited. The current owner was offered a position at a large insurance company and this is the reason for selling the business. He started the business in April of 2020 just at the time COVID began so this slowed the growth of the company. However, the current owner kept making contacts with realtors in the area and now has developed a tremendous referral network. 2022 has begun to bring in positive revenues. The franchisor will train the new owner and will help provide incentives as well. This franchise is owned by a larger home related company and this provides additional leads for the local franchisee.
