Don't Skip Home Inspection During this Hot Seller's Market

(Richmond, VA)--“One piece of advice I can give,” said Joseph Lowery, a new owner of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, serving Richmond, Henrico, Goochland, Powhatan, and Chesterfield, where he and his wife reside.

“Don’t skip your home inspection, no matter what, even in this hot sellers’ market.” No truer words were spoken, according to a recent Investopedia article that gives you 10 Reasons You Should Not Skip a Home Inspection.

“I have always liked real estate,” said Joseph. “I was a part-time realtor for years. I got to learn the ins and outs of what makes home buyers and sellers excited during this stressful time The most important piece was the level of customer service that I provided that set me apart. This is also something I emphasize strongly as a franchise owner of Pillar To Post.”

Joseph decided home inspection was the next step in his natural progression, and the facts of the current market prove his choice to be a good one. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion in 2022, according to global research firm IBISWorld.

One of the many reasons Joseph chose Pillar To Post Home Inspectors, the largest home inspection company in North America, is the new technology the company recently introduced. This advanced technology, along with the business model, provide an exceptional home inspection with unique and innovative features that are all delivered along with a seamless brand experience. All developed pre-pandemic and ready to be utilized when the pandemic struck, these new high-tech features further highlight Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ standing as a visionary in its industry. These features include:

PTP360. PTP360 is available with every home inspection and provides an interactive, 360-degree visual inspection summary that brings the inspection report to life. It includes every room as well as the home’s exterior. It can be accessed anywhere, anytime, from any device, and shared with family or contractors.

PTPEstimates. PTPEstimates provides a cost estimate for inspection summary items. This upgrade is extremely useful for sellers who do a pre-listing inspection, letting them learn what recommended repairs will cost based on the local market. Estimates can be requested with one click.

PTPFloorPlan. PTPFloorPlan provides an accurate floor plan of the entire home. This useful upgrade can be used to determine furniture fit and placement, and also to provide exact dimensions to contractors for estimating purposes.

PTPHomeManual. PTPHomeManual is an upgraded service that provides a digital owner’s manual for a home, letting users download manuals and warranty information, find safety recalls on appliances, learn the age and useful remaining life of systems, and much more.

Joseph, whose background includes real estate, management in the federal government, and management at Amazon, hopes to eventually evolve his Pillar To Post business into a family business. “My wife is my Director of Marketing and Business Operations and oversees my promotions and advertising and lead the company’s operations.”

“We are very community-oriented,” Joseph concluded. “I serve on the Social Action Committee with Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., conducting community service activities. I volunteer with Habitat for Humanity assisting in building homes for families. I serve on the Board of Management for the Swift Creek YMCA supporting the YMCA’s mission, core values and community engagement. I think our Pillar To Post business will be another great asset to the community.”
