HomeTeam Inspection Service, the 200-plus-unit home inspection franchise, has built a strong business model that empowers entrepreneurs to build an asset with real value, laying the foundation for a strong, stable future while actively serving and supporting community members. Max Moarefdoust’s journey with the brand exemplifies this potential.

Moarefdoust began his journey with HomeTeam by managing the location in Columbus, Ohio, gaining firsthand experience in the business before purchasing the franchise in 2019 and driving additional growth.

“Max has a great story. He started as a corporate employee, and he was a great General Manager,” said Matt Cook, Director of Business Development. “We decided to sell him the franchise, and that was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. He immediately leveled it up, and he has now more than doubled the business. He’s a perfect example of the potential that exists in the HomeTeam system.”

While Moarefdoust’s story is an inspiring one for people looking to grow from a team member role to ownership, it also reflects a larger trend in the HomeTeam system. The brand differentiates itself by focusing on teaching individuals how to be better leaders and business people. Training and support helps franchise owners build real equity.

“We’re not just selling jobs,” Cook said. “And everybody talks about equity and value in business, but we’re actually teaching people how to secure it. This is something that can be super simple when you have the right tools and resources available to you, but not many organizations want to provide that education or those tools. We want our franchise owners to be happy, successful business owners, and we want to equip them to make the most of that success in the future.”

Moarefdoust’s continued growth underscores the effectiveness of this approach. Cook noted that Moarefdoust’s revenue was up almost 25 percent in April, compared to April of 2024, representing remarkable growth and substantial profitability. 

The financial performance is a testament to both Moarefdoust’s commitment to business and the true scalability of the HomeTeam model when paired with a strong leader who is dedicated to executing.

“The immediate profitability and financial gains are exciting to me, but the longer-term potential is even better,” Cook said. “Max has done a great job of scaling this business, and it is well-known as a reliable resource in the community now. There’s potential for him to one day transfer the business to his son, carrying on the legacy and creating even more equity over the years.”

Moarefdoust’s journey exemplifies the power of the HomeTeam franchise model, particularly when the strong business model, committed support team and driven entrepreneur come together. In the HomeTeam system, growth isn’t just about increasing business presence today; it’s about securing families’ financial futures and maintaining the brand’s respected presence nationwide.
