HomeTeam Inspection Service, the 200-plus-territory home inspection franchise that leverages a team approach to conduct more efficient, thorough home inspections, celebrated its 30th franchising anniversary with a year of giving.
“We were brainstorming about how we could celebrate our 30th anniversary, and we thought, ‘What would be better than giving back?’ How can we give back?” said Adam Long, president of HomeTeam Inspection Service. “HomeTeam is really about helping people and helping families — home buyers, home sellers and real estate agents. So we wanted to think about how we could take that a step further, giving back to local charities throughout the year.”
“Our HomeTeam owners and inspectors work closely with local real estate agents, and in many cases, the agents and our relationship with them are at the heart of the business,” explained Taylor Martin, director of marketing. “We encourage our local teams to partner up with real estate agents and contribute to meaningful community efforts to strengthen that relationship and demonstrate their care beyond the real estate transaction process.”
Throughout the year, HomeTeam franchise owners work with Sunshine Kids Foundation, KW Cares and Keller Williams Red Day through their relationships with local agents, and many also step out independently to support local shelters, community organizations or neighborhood beautification groups.
Last year, to ramp up the giving even further, HomeTeam helped sponsor a benefit concert for Sunshine Kids and “flipped the script” on giveaways at its national shows, donating to a real estate agent’s charity of choice as opposed to giving a material raffle item.
“People are happy to talk about the causes they are passionate about, so supporting our real estate partners in giving back is a great way to start conversations and strengthen those relationships,” added Long.
HomeTeam’s most straightforward form of giving last year was through its connection to charitable partners, both on a corporate level and through franchisees choosing to get involved in their local communities’ giving opportunities. However, the franchise has also given back, in a way, by offering a platform that allows passionate entrepreneurs to build something truly meaningful that can benefit them over time.
Last year, HomeTeam saw nine transfers of existing franchises. While some amount of transfer is natural in any franchise system, HomeTeam’s movement is largely attributed to franchisees who have built and grown a business and are ready to take a step back, often transitioning into retirement.
“Any healthy franchise system will have franchisees that build a business that they can sell to someone else in the future,” said Long. “Last year, we had a franchisee sell their business after 28 years and 40,000 inspections. They were an owner with us for 28 of our 30 years of franchising, and they decided to retire. Now, the new owner will take that territory to the next level.”
HomeTeam also welcomed 10 new franchises to the system in 2023, creating a strong foundation as the system plans to ramp up development this year.
With a goal of awarding 15 new franchises this year, thanks to a strengthening real estate market, HomeTeam is looking at development in Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah, as well as many other states.
“Our interest in these markets is twofold. HomeTeam does not have as much of a presence in some of these states as we do in other parts of the country, and these are also markets where real estate is really growing,” said Matt Cook, director of business development. “As demand rises in some of the more expensive markets, homebuilding and buying is driven to more inexpensive markets like Oklahoma or Idaho, which creates a prime opportunity for us to support buyers in the purchasing process and propel entrepreneurs in growing their businesses.”
