This year alone, the brand has signed six new franchisees and opened nine new locations as it continues to expand in key markets.“While it may not be as hectic as mid-2020, there is no doubt that the housing market is still flourishing, and home inspections are a crucial part of any buying or selling process,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamrlong/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hometeam-inspection-service-rides-real-estate-market-momentum-building-out-markets-and-signing-multiple-new-franchisees-2719463" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adam Long</a>, president of HomeTeam. “Clients and real estate agents across the country are in need of trusted, professional home inspectors, and HomeTeam has established itself as the leading home inspection brand for REALTORS® and homeowners alike.”Multiple franchisees within the network have seen great success this year, including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradlawler/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hometeam-inspection-service-rides-real-estate-market-momentum-building-out-markets-and-signing-multiple-new-franchisees-2719463" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brad Lawler</a>, who took over a retiring friend’s HomeTeam Inspection Service business in late 2017.

They are on pace to complete nearly 1,900 in 2022.“The thing that’s so unique about HomeTeam is its team-based approach,” Lawler said. “HomeTeam has a great model — if you follow it, you will be successful.”As the brand continues to build out its network of inspectors nationwide, it is entering challenging markets and supporting the continued growth and recognition of franchisees beyond just their home territory.“We recently opened a third location in Massachusetts,” said Long. “That’s a difficult market to open locations in due to home inspection licensing, so it’s great to be establishing roots in the area with well-qualified franchisees.”Beyond the inspection space, HomeTeam franchisees are becoming more involved in their communities and within the franchise network every day.

CINCINNATI — Even as the real estate market shifts,&nbsp;<a href="https://hometeamfranchise.com/">HomeTeam Inspection Service</a> has continued to grow, with more than 200 locations and a firm foothold in the home inspection industry. With double-digit growth across the system,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/hometeaminspectionservice/info">HomeTeam’s</a> focus on operations and strategic growth has paid off, driving it to outperform the broader market and close the year with a 10 percent increase in year-over-year revenue and over 80 percent of franchise owners seeing business stability or growth compared to last year.“Every single month of this year was up in revenue over last year; we didn’t have a single ‘down’ month,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-cook-a2810b8b">Matt Cook</a>, Director of Operations. “Our entire company is up 10 percent on the year, and 82 percent of our owners are even or up on last year. We’re thrilled to see that level of stability and success across our network.”In addition to steady revenue growth, HomeTeam grew its footprint throughout the year, welcoming new franchise owners in North Seattle; Northern Virginia; Douglas County, Colorado; Southern Tier, New York; Northwest Indiana; Camden County, New Jersey; Southwest Chicago; and Stockton and East Sacramento, California.HomeTeam also focused heavily on internal infrastructure in 2025, including significant investments in technology partnerships and the integration of AI-powered defect recognition tools in report-writing software to drive an even more efficient inspection process.Given the real estate market has largely remained stable and HomeTeam’s performance has continued to climb, and the brand has continued to invest in its teams, processes and systems to strengthen the model nationwide, HomeTeam is positioned for a great 2026.“We’re seeing transactions increase, and mortgage applications have hit new highs for the year,” Cook said. “All our data suggests a stable winter and a busy spring. This year, for our team, has been focused on rebuilding and revamping so that, when the market comes back strong, we’re already fine-tuned and ready to go.”Looking toward 2026, Cook says the team continues to build on its momentum for another great year.“Simply put, next year, we’re looking forward to continued growth,” he said. “We’ll continue to grow our footprint, and we’ll also continue working toward growth as an organization. The industry landscape is changing, and we’re adjusting our strategy to stay ahead of the curve. We’re making significant investments in digital advertising and other initiatives to drive inspection volume independently, ensuring our franchise owners are well-positioned to capture steady revenue regardless of broader industry shifts.”ABOUT HOMETEAM INSPECTION SERVICEFounded in 1992, HomeTeam Inspection Service is a full-service, independent home inspection franchise serving home buyers, sellers and real estate agents.
