About this Business
For nearly 20 years, homebuyers have turned to this inspection business when making one of their biggest financial decisions. It earns 4.9 stars on Google and Facebook, draws business from longstanding Realtor relationships, and generated $89,018 in 2025 cash flow on $251,917 in revenue.
Established in 2006, the home-based business serves a broad territory centered around St. Charles. Referrals from real estate professionals and past clients continue to drive inspections, while a full-time employee works alongside the owner. Approximately $30,000 in assets, including a vehicle and inspection equipment, are included in the sale.
As retirement approaches, the owner now spends less time on marketing and business development. A new owner can bring fresh energy to marketing, referral relationships, and past customers while building on an already profitable foundation.

Growth opportunities
This franchise has nearly 20 years of local history, a 4.9-star reputation, and longstanding relationships with real estate professionals and past clients. As the seller gets closer to retirement, he has spent less time focused on marketing and growing the business. A new owner can pick that back up by staying in touch with past customers, getting in front of more local agents, building new referral relationships, and increasing local marketing
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
The owner works approximately 50 hours per week, combining hands-on inspection work with customer relationships, scheduling, sales, and administration alongside one full-time employee. An active, personable, service-oriented buyer with strong people and sales skills is a good fit.
Asset Description
The sale includes the equipment and assets used to operate the business, including five radon machines, two sewer lateral machines, a camera stick and camera, one vehicle, computers, inspection equipment, ladders, other tools used in daily inspections, software systems, branded materials, and uniforms. The estimated resale value of the included assets and equipment is approximately $30,000.

Why I Love My Franchise
The franchise is built on a good, solid business and ethical base. Have received great insight to new and successful ideas I would have never discovered on my own.
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.
