HomeTeam Inspection Service Franchise FDD, Costs & Fees (2025)

HomeTeam Inspection Service offers comprehensive home inspection services using a team approach, ensuring thorough and efficient property assessments.

HomeTeam Inspection Service has been a prominent provider of home inspection services in the United States since its inception in 1992. Based in Milford, Ohio, the company has built a reputation for delivering trusted and precise home inspections over the decades.

That same year, HomeTeam began franchising to disseminate their unique team-based inspection approach, designed to provide more efficient and thorough inspections.

HomeTeam's distinctive strategy involves deploying a team of inspectors to each property. This not only accelerates the inspection process but also ensures a more comprehensive evaluation.

This team approach sets HomeTeam apart from traditional single-inspector models, offering a significant edge in the home inspection sector.

Training 

The franchisor offers an essential training program that must be attended by the franchisee, a principal, or a designated representative overseeing the franchised business.

Components of the Training Program

  1. Online Orientation and Training: This segment provides a foundational understanding of the franchisor's systems and procedures through web-based modules.
  2. Classroom Training: Conducted in a formal educational setting, this offers in-depth knowledge on various aspects of the business.
  3. On-the-Job Training: This hands-on component allows franchisees and their employees to apply classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Attendance and Participants

  • Mandatory for franchisees, principals, or designated representatives.
  • Ensures the responsible party is thoroughly prepared to manage the franchised business.

Schedule and Frequency

  • Typically conducted on a monthly basis.
  • Scheduled based on demand and participant availability.

Territory Protection

The franchisor provides territory protection to franchisees. Each franchisee's territory is primarily designated by Postal Codes and must be a single, undivided geographic area containing between 50,000 and 150,000 owner-occupied households.

The franchisor retains the right to specify a larger or smaller territory based on market size or other relevant factors.

This territory protection is designed to prevent internal competition and ensure each franchisee has a fair opportunity to grow their business within their designated area.
