As the recovery quickens pace, home inspection franchise business has increased in Alabama. The """"WIN Home Inspection"""":http://winfranchising.com franchise has seen its revenue grow 35 percent in the past two years as the franchise grabs an outsized slice of the recovering real estate market.
[IMAGE]During the recession, the troubled market saw many home inspection companies disappear. WIN has expanded market share to meet the demand for service increases since fewer home inspectors are available.
[COLUMN_BREAK]""""WIN is responding to the housing recovery by moving into untapped markets and aggressively seeking new strategic partners,"""" said Steve Wadlington, WIN president. """"Right now, the only thing that seems to be holding back our growth is the need for more strategic partners to offer our service.""""
""""The National Association of Realtors"""":http://www.realtor.org (NAR) recently released a report that showed Realtor transactions rose an average of 20 percent per person in 2013. Since 99 percent of Realtors recommend a home inspection and 77 percent of homebuyers pay for one, the success of Realtors is great news for home inspectors--especially those like WIN that earn referrals from real estate agents.
WIN franchisees come from a wide range of backgrounds--the common threads are a willingness to learn to perform an excellent inspection, an outgoing personality, and a desire to build a strong business.
""""WIN is an unprecedented opportunity for those who are looking for a better financial future and more control over their professional lives,"""" Wadlington said. """"Best of all we have a low-cost entry point and significant earning potential.""""
