About this Business
Take over a trusted, home-based inspection franchise with 25 years of history and room to grow. Serves Central Florida northwest of Orlando, from Leesburg and Eustis through Ocala and north to Citra. Ideal for an owner-operator ready to lead from the field.
The business provides home inspections for buyers, sellers, investors, and insurance needs. In 2025, it generated $214,916 in revenue and $102,938 in cash flow, with low overhead and no office lease.
The owner works alongside a full-time support inspector, with occasional administrative help. About 75% of business comes from the Ocala area, supported by longtime relationships with realtors, property managers, investors, and returning clients. Its outstanding 4.9-star Google rating with 460 reviews speaks to the trust earned over decades!
This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on owner with a Florida home inspector license or someone prepared to hire a licensed inspector. There’s room to grow by bringing back mold and radon inspections and increasing marketing. Essential equipment and a fully wrapped Toyota Tundra are included.
With a new franchise costing $65K–$92K to start, this established operation offers existing clients, referral relationships, and cash flow for only modestly more.
The seller is relocating and ready to hand over this established business to its next owner. Inquire to learn more. Expect a pre-qualification form and NDA from Franchise Flippers by email.
Growth opportunities
This is a fast-growing part of Central FL, where strong population growth, new construction, and active home sales keep inspections in demand. A previous owner offered mold and radon services and saw much higher sales, so bringing those back, along with simple marketing efforts and local outreach, could help a new owner grow the business at a comfortable pace.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
Owner is Lead Inspector (Certified Home Inspector) and runs as owner-operator with a supporting inspector (departing).
Asset Description
The sale includes approximately $25,000 in assets, including a fully wrapped 2014 Toyota Tundra valued at approximately $20,000. The remaining equipment, valued at approximately $5,000, includes a CrawlBot, DJI Pro drone, water testing tools, and additional inspection supplies needed to operate the business.

About HomeTeam Inspection Service
HomeTeam Inspection Service is one of the larger home inspection franchises in North America, serving home buyers, sellers and real estate professionals. Its defining feature is a team-based inspection model: instead of sending a single inspector, HomeTeam dispatches a team in which each member focuses on a specialty area, so inspections finish faster and reports are delivered the same way. Services span whole-home and pre-listing inspections, radon and mold testing, indoor air quality evaluations and commercial property inspections.
Founded in 1992 and franchising since 1993, the brand operates an established network of more than 200 locations across the United States and typically schedules inspections within a day of the call. It is part of Threshold Brands, a multi-brand home-services franchising group that provides shared operational and marketing infrastructure.
The model is territory-based and built around speed, thoroughness and real-estate-agent relationships. Most owners run the business as managers of inspection teams rather than working as the sole inspector, which sets HomeTeam apart from the many independent, single-inspector operators that make up much of the category.
Franchisee Support
HomeTeam trains incoming owners through classroom instruction backed by a business playbook and a "home inspection encyclopedia," certification above state requirements (or national certification where no state standard exists), and a three-day field-training stint alongside an experienced team. Ongoing support includes weekly coaching, an educational podcast, periodic corporate audits, proprietary inspection software, a franchisee intranet and front-office help with call handling and scheduling. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and certification transfer to a new owner and whether existing inspectors stay on.
Brand Accolades & Awards
HomeTeam ranked No. 413 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500, its third consecutive year on the list, and has also been recognised by Franchise Gator, FranServe's Fran-Tastic 500 and Franchise Times. It holds preferred or approved-vendor status with Keller Williams, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living, and is a member of the International Franchise Association, VetFran and MinorityFran. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, agent referrals and community reputation.
Industry / Market
Demand for home inspections tracks US residential real estate activity, making the category sensitive to transaction volume and mortgage rates but structurally essential, since most purchase contracts include an inspection contingency. The US home inspection services market is worth roughly $4 billion and remains highly fragmented, dominated by independent single-inspector operators. That fragmentation is the opening for a team-based brand: agent relationships and brand trust let franchised units win share. For resale buyers, local housing turnover and agent networks largely determine a territory's revenue.
Ideal Owner
HomeTeam suits a hands-on local operator who wants to manage and grow an inspection team rather than perform every inspection personally. No construction or inspection background is needed, as the franchisor handles certification. Owners spend their time building real-estate-agent referral relationships, managing schedules and inspectors, and overseeing customer service and quality. The strongest fit is someone organized, detail-oriented and comfortable with sales and local networking, since agent relationships drive most of a unit's lead flow.
