CINCINNATI, OH — HomeTeam Inspection Service, the 200-plus-unit home inspection franchise and one of the most recognized names in the industry, is proud to announce the appointment of Josh Spires as its new vice president, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s legacy.
Spires has been involved with HomeTeam — which was founded by his father, Paul, in 1992 — since 2012. He started as a home inspector and steadily gained experience across multiple facets of the business. His new role as vice president solidifies his commitment to the growth and development of the brand, continuing the Spires family’s leadership in guiding HomeTeam’s ongoing success.
“I've been connected to HomeTeam my entire life," Spires said. "From my early days training with our franchise owners along the East Coast to my experience in business administration and real estate investment, I’ve always known I wanted to contribute to HomeTeam’s future. Taking on this formal role feels like a natural progression in my journey."
Spires’ hands-on experience spans from home inspections and franchise owner training to leadership roles in real estate investment management. His diverse background enables him to bring a unique perspective to the table, particularly in ensuring franchise owners receive exceptional support to grow their businesses.
"We are deeply invested in our franchise owners’ success,” Spires said. “My role is to lead our team with a focus on increasing value for our franchise owners, ensuring their inspection counts grow and their businesses thrive. Our goal is to dominate the home inspection industry as a premium brand. When people think of home inspections, we want them to think of HomeTeam.”
For HomeTeam, this means a commitment to nationwide expansion with strong franchise owners. Because the brand has always focused on a technology-forward, team-based approach, it continues to lead the industry in terms of franchise owner support and the customer experience.
Spires’ vision also includes an emphasis on long-term success for individual franchise owners.
“We aim to support our franchise owners in building stable, valuable, assets that support a healthy, happy lifestyle, both during their ownership and after they exit,” he said. “We’re not just growing businesses; we’re supporting families across the country.”
In his new role, Spires will work closely with other members of the leadership team to expand HomeTeam’s presence and maintain the highest quality support and service for franchise owners and customers alike. After decades of success in the industry, HomeTeam has proven its stability and carved out a niche with its unique approach, and Spires only plans to continue along this trajectory.
“I always hearken back to the statement: ‘We make our decisions based on principle rather than emotion,’” he said. “Whether it’s my career or my personal life, I remind myself that emotions — and the circumstances causing them — can change. In a business like HomeTeam, we know what works. We have no reason to stray from those principles.”
