I decided to take the leap and I closed the deal in December of 2017.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, after recently completing his 9,200th inspection, it’s clear that he made the right decision.&nbsp;“The thing that’s so unique about HomeTeam is its team-based approach,” he said. “HomeTeam has a great model — if you follow it, you will be successful.”An essential component of that model is building relationships with local real estate agents, something Lawler took to heart during the height of the pandemic. “We kept working throughout the shutdown because we were considered essential workers,” he said. “So, we did things like pick up groceries and drop off signs so that local real estate agents didn't have to. We wanted them to know that we were willing to help however we could. We wanted to be good neighbors in addition to being business partners.”&nbsp;For Lawler, a big part of being a good partner is providing unbeatable speed and reliability: his team completes inspections within 48 hours of getting the call and delivers same-day reports in an effort to help buyers, sellers and agents close deals faster and protect their bottom line.&nbsp;“Our goal is to get agents and their clients to the closing table,” Lawler said. “We accomplish that by having a non-alarmist, solution-oriented approach.”Lawler says that, while competitors have tried to copy the team-based approach that allows HomeTeam to provide faster, more detailed inspections, they still fall short. “We have the advantage of a software that allows multiple inspectors to work on the same report at the same time,” Lawler said. “Between the inspection and the report, when you have those extra sets of eyes, things aren’t missed. I don’t think there’s a better group of inspectors out there, and that’s something that real estate agents are aware of.”With a reputation as the go-to resource for local real estate professionals, Lawler’s <a href="https://www.hometeam.com/louisville/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-hometeam-franchisee-became-one-of-the-brands-most-successful-owners-2718551" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HomeTeam Inspection Service of Kentuckiana</a> delivers high-quality service that adds real value to its real estate agent partners.&nbsp;“We couldn’t be more proud of Brad’s ongoing success and we are thrilled to have him as a valued partner,” said HomeTeam President <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-long-cfe-93b0637/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-hometeam-franchisee-became-one-of-the-brands-most-successful-owners-2718551" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adam Long</a>. “Not only does he help real estate agents and their clients close deals faster, he also helps them to approach closing with the knowledge that they’re making an informed decision based on expert advice.”For more information about HomeTeam Inspection Service, visit <a href="http://www.hometeam.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-this-hometeam-franchisee-became-one-of-the-brands-most-successful-owners-2718551" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.hometeam.com</a>.
