Getting your home inspection license is just the beginning. In fact, that’s where most new inspectors stall out.
They pass their test… and then realize they have no clients, no website, no marketing system, and no idea how to get realtors to trust them.
If you’re serious about building a sustainable inspection business, it’s not about getting licensed — it’s about everything that happens after.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in the Video
The Myth of the License
Licensing covers technical knowledge — not business success
You’ll learn what a GFCI is, but not how to land your first 30 realtors
Most licensing courses don’t even mention websites, branding, or CE classes
Why So Many Inspectors Fail
50%+ of licensed home inspectors are out of business within 2 years
Without a proven marketing system, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd
If you walk into a real estate office with zero credibility, you’re toast
How the Franchise Fills the Gap
Inspections Over Coffee gives you an entire “business in a box”
Inspection templates, add-on training (solar, mold, asbestos, radon, etc.)
Complete Google My Business and SEO playbook
Real-world email marketing sequences, PowerPoint decks, CE curriculum
Scripts and walkthroughs for coffee meetings, office visits, CE presentations
Day One Advantage
You’ll walk into your first office looking like an 8-year-old pro
Drones, thermal imaging, custom branded materials, and polished reports
You’ll show agents what you can do — not beg them to give you a shot

Final Thought
Passing a test doesn’t build a business. Relationships do. Referrals do. Systems do.
