More than home inspections

GPI is much more than a home inspection company. We have emerged as a leader in commercial building inspections. We also provide a variety of property condition reports on both residential and commercial real estate to lenders and insurance companies. Our proven marketing plan creates multiple income streams for franchise owners.

Your inspection services are vital to real estate transactions, property management and risk management activities, as well as to investors and managers of real estate investment portfolios. You’ll find that your business often comes from repeat inspection clients, locally and nationally, and includes referral sources such as real estate agents and various real estate professionals.

As a franchisee, you’ll also be able to take advantage of new markets and new technology. An emerging market is developing for home energy audits, partially due to new technology such as infrared cameras. This creates additional revenue streams for franchisees.

Technical and business training included

GPI will train you on the technical aspects of performing inspections, plus how to best market and operate your business. With our 20+ years of experience, you’ll gain our “insider” industry knowledge and learn the “business” of property inspection.

Franchisor support

GPI provides ongoing support for its franchise owners. This ranges from our 7-days-a-week technical phone assistance, to our national advertising/promotions conducted by the GPI corporate office at no charge to franchise owners
