The HouseMaster Brand is the first company to franchise and hands-down the most experienced franchise brand the with over 40 years of experience. Our founder, Ken Austin entered the industry in 1971 and began franchising under the HouseMaster name in 1979. Since then, we have pioneered every major advancement including the introduction of ASHI, the first industry trade association to set home inspection standards and NIBI®, a premier resource of home inspection education and certification. It’s no wonder that the HouseMaster Brand is renowned for franchisee success and retention. So good in fact that we have multiple 2nd generation owners and even a 3rd generation owner. Our average franchise has been with the HouseMaster System over 12 years and our average gross sales is the highest in the industry. For us, happy customers and happy franchise owners means great business success!
