HomeTeam Inspection Service has introduced a new bundled pricing model, giving homebuyers an easier, more affordable way to ensure the safety and quality of their potential homes. The innovative approach offers significant cost savings by combining essential services — such as termite inspections, wind mitigation inspections or sewer line scopes — into one package rather than purchasing each service separately.

The decision to implement bundled pricing came after years of data analysis and internal discussions. "It was a conversation I had with employees in leadership internally," said Matt Cook, Director of Business Development at HomeTeam. "Bundled pricing is extremely common in service industries, but with our 'one call does it all' approach, we hadn’t implemented it before due to the sheer number of options — condos, townhomes, septic systems and more. It was hard to standardize."

After reviewing data from the last five years, HomeTeam discovered that over 90% of their revenue comes from whole-house inspections paired with additional services. Offering bundled packages just made sense. "We noticed the average transaction fee goes up because most people buy a home inspection only when they’re buying a house, often every 7 to 10 years,” Cook said. “They don’t know much about what they need, so offering good, better and best options simplifies the process for them.”

HomeTeam’s new pricing model features three options: Team Essential, Team Preferred and Team Ultimate, structured as good, better and best. These packages cater to various homebuyer needs by including different inspection services. For example, the Team Essential package might include a standard home inspection and radon testing, while Team Preferred could add pest inspections and Team Ultimate might incorporate mold testing and warranties. "Most buyers don’t realize the importance of additional services like air quality or water quality testing,” said Cook. “These add-ons provide more comprehensive care for homebuyers and cater to specific needs.”

According to Cook the cost savings are substantial. “A radon inspection might cost $200 to $225 as a standalone service but could be reduced to $150 when included in a package,” he said. “Each ancillary inspection has a different cost saving, making packages a more affordable option for buyers."

While bundled pricing isn’t entirely new to the home inspection industry, HomeTeam’s implementation of it is expected to set a new benchmark. "Quite a few competitors already offer bundled pricing, especially larger companies like ours,” said Cook. “That’s part of why we decided to implement it. Currently, 25% of our transactions include packages, and the revenue impact has been significant. I believe bundled pricing will remain a standard practice in the industry.”

The benefits aren’t limited to cost savings for customers. Franchise owners also see significant advantages. "Owners often pay employees a base rate per inspection and provide bonuses for additional services like radon or pest inspections,” Cook said. “This means inspectors earn more, which helps retain talented employees and improves morale. Overall, it benefits the owners, employees, and clients by delivering better service and value.”

Franchise owners played a crucial role in refining the program through a 90-day trial, conducted by the Franchise Advisory Council. "Every 30 days, we reviewed the analytics — sales, average transaction fees and revenue increases,” Cook said. “The results were clear: substantial revenue growth, often thousands of dollars per month for the participating franchises.”

Ultimately, the bundled pricing model not only enhances HomeTeam’s value proposition but also improves the homebuying experience. "These packages genuinely take better care of people by providing comprehensive inspections that address needs they might not have been otherwise considered, like radon or mold testing,” said Cook. “Educating homebuyers about these risks and offering solutions builds trust, which translates to higher satisfaction and referrals.”

For homebuyers seeking a seamless, cost-effective inspection process, HomeTeam Inspections’ bundled pricing offers an unmatched solution. By simplifying choices and presenting clear value, the company is redefining how home inspections are done, benefiting both clients and franchise owners alike.
