Products & Services
As a real estate professional, your relationship with your clients is one based on trust in your expertise and reliance on your service. A home inspection is one more way that you can help your clients feel confident at that "moment of truth" during their decision to buy or sell.
Every person involved in a residential real estate transaction can benefit from a professional home inspection. An inspection conducted by a buyer may present an opportunity to take the cost of repairs into account in the offer to purchase. While a home inspection conducted by a vendor prior to listing can help you avoid nasty surprises during negotiations and provide a list of potential upgrades.
When you refer a client to a home inspection company, you want someone who will best represent your client's interests and protect your valuable reputation. At Pillar To Post we will provide you and your clients with the best service, the most professional inspectors, and the finest inspection report in the industry.
Named the leading home inspection company in North America for 2007 by Entrepreneur Magazine in its annual franchise rankings, Pillar To Post is active across the United States and Canada, now serving almost 500 locations in 9 provinces and 43 states.
Every one of Pillar To Post's nearly 700 home inspectors is rigorously trained both in the classroom and on site, and required to continually upgrade his or her skills to keep current with new technologies and professional standards. Furthermore, all Pillar To Post inspectors must carry Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, which protects referring agents from liability.

Why Pillar To Post?
Home Inspection is a Growing IndustryMore homes are being built and sold …
Over the past decade, the annual volume of home sales in North America has increased dramatically. In 2006, approximately 6.5 million homes were transacted, making it the third largest year on record.
More homes are being inspected …
As the number of homes transacted increases, naturally so too does the number of homes inspected; more importantly though, the last 10 years has also seen an increase in the percentage of homes inspected.
As more and more states and provinces examine legislation to make home inspections mandatory, and as Realtors and consumers become better educated, home inspection has increasingly become an integral part of the real estate transaction process.
Home inspection is evolving …
As the industry has grown and flourished, it has also evolved. Home inspectors now provide a range of additional services such as mold, radon, and indoor air quality testing, home energy audits, and the Neighborhood Environmental Report.
