Here's how it works: if within the first year of franchise ownership and after successfully completing training and other eligibility requirements, you decide that a HouseMaster franchise is not for you, we will refund your Initial Franchise Fee, less administrative expenses.


You may wonder HouseMaster make such a claim? It's simple. The HouseMaster name AND the people behind HouseMaster know what it takes in the home inspection business and we are confident that the more you get to know us, the more you will learn that HouseMaster is the RIGHT CHOICE when it comes to making your dreams of business ownership a reality.

Building a successful business is not unlike building a home; you need a strong foundation, a great crew and all the right tools.

When considering a franchise, you'll want to understand what makes one opportunity stand out over others. In the home inspection industry, the HouseMaster® franchise opportunity is unique in many ways. The level of support available to HouseMaster franchisees is unsurpassed, and there are clear differences in the training you'll receive, but what truly makes us different is we don't ask you to simply take our word for it. At HouseMaster, we believe in standing behind your offer, so just like our franchisees who provide an Inspection Guarantee, we offer a Guarantee to our new franchisees! The Right Choice Guarantee* is YET another home inspection industry first from HouseMaster.


For close to 30 years, HouseMaster® has been the most respected name in home inspections. Through our commitment to franchisee support and system development, HouseMaster has been ranked one of Entrepreneur Magazines Top 500 Franchises for over 15 years, as well as one of the magazine's Top 101 Home-Based Franchises, Top Low-Cost Franchises and one of Bond's Top 100 Franchises for 2006 and 2007. But those designations don't address what prospective franchisees want to know about most and that's franchisee satisfaction – which is precisely what HouseMaster's ranking in Franchise Business Review's Franchisee Satisfaction Survey measures. Here are some highlights from this survey:

The Right Tools: No other franchise company knows more about how to succeed in the home inspection business than HouseMaster. This is why we have developed an overwhelming number of tools to help you start, and build your franchise. Our goal is not only teach you how to get into the home inspection business, our goal is to help you Master it.

A Strong Foundation: HouseMaster is a family owned and operated business, with a solid track record for integrity, support and one of the most respected, credentialed training programs in the industry. The National Institute of Building Inspectors, which will celebrate twenty years of training excellence this year, offers comprehensive training and support through classroom, hands-on and distance learning programs. This provides HouseMaster inspectors with the essential knowledge needed to get the inspection done right. Training, on-going education and a commitment to qualify report writing ensures that new and veteran inspectors can communicate their inspection findings in the most professional of terms.

A Great Crew: Money Magazine's January 2007 issue notes that one of the most important variables for success in launching a business is industry experience. . HouseMaster's has a lengthy repertoire of industry firsts, but what's more meaningful than years in business is the expertise of the support staff at HMA. No other franchisor in the home inspection industry can boast of the depth of experience found at HouseMaster. This experience helps new and veteran franchisees manage day to day issues as well as develop tools and strategies to navigate through the ever-changing world of marketing, technology, risk management and construction issues.
