Home Inspection Franchise in Portland, OR
Launch a Modern Inspection Business in Oregon’s Most Competitive Housing Market
Portland is known for its creative energy, environmental focus, and strong real estate market—and that combination creates a constant stream of homebuyers, sellers, investors, and agents who rely on high-quality inspections to close deals with confidence.
A home inspection franchise in Portland gives you access to a high-demand, year-round business—backed by a national brand that provides training, systems, and the support needed to thrive. With Inspections Over Coffee, you’re not just starting a business—you’re stepping into a proven model built for efficiency and long-term growth.
Why Portland Is a Prime Market for Home Inspections
From the walkable neighborhoods of Sellwood and Alberta to the luxury new builds in Lake Oswego and West Hills, Portland’s real estate market is active, competitive, and diverse. The city’s blend of old bungalows, mid-century homes, townhomes, and ADUs (accessory dwelling units) creates a wide range of inspection opportunities.
In recent years, Portland has seen:
A steady influx of out-of-state buyers
Continued growth in real estate investment and house flipping
High demand for detailed inspections due to aging infrastructure and eco-friendly expectations
Buyers and agents looking for speed, clarity, and modern reporting tools
If you’re ready to bring a systematic, tech-enabled inspection service to this market, now is the perfect time.
