Looking at home inspection franchise options and wondering which one gives you the best shot at success?
There are some big names out there. But when you dig into the actual tools, training, support, and franchisee-first mindset, Inspections Over Coffee brings something refreshingly different to the table.
Let’s compare the essentials so you can make an informed decision.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in the Video
Are You a Fit for the Inspection Industry?
Requires face-to-face relationship building with realtors
Offers white-collar flexibility and high-margin work
Not about swinging a hammer — it’s about trust and reporting clarity
Inspection vs. Other Home Services Franchises
- Cleaning, blinds, or awning franchises = manual labor
- Home inspection = advisory role + high trust + clean margins
- Biggest “con”: you go to the client’s home (they can’t come to you)

❓Frequently Asked Questions
What’s different about your training?
We teach you everything you don’t even know you need — including SEO, social, LinkedIn lead gen, templates for every scenario, and even scripts for in-person meetings and CE classes.
Are your royalties really lower?
Yes — our flat 7% royalty (which also tiers down as you grow) is designed to be sustainable, not suffocating. Other franchises charge 7–11% plus added fees for marketing or tech tools.
What if I want to inspect mold, solar, or radon?
We’ve got fully developed modules, templates, and FAQ docs ready for mold, asbestos, solar, elevators, EMF, and more. Other franchises make you figure this out on your own.
Do I still get to be myself?
Yes — realtors connect with different personalities. We train you to show up consistently, but in a way that’s authentically you.
