Pillar To Post Home Inspectors Warns “Don’t Skip Inspection Even During This Hot Sellers’ Market”

TAMPA, Fla. and TORONTO, CA // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // June 1, 2021 - Despite the challenging year of 2020, home sales rose dramatically, and due to a lack of inventory calling it a "seller's market" is to understate the conditions of the real estate industry very much in most American cities and towns in 2021.

That fact, coupled with our latest technologies that allow “contactless” home inspections, doubled our franchisee inquiries from pre-pandemic days.”

In addition, the U.S. building inspector industry, me…
