March 2007
In
addition to the honor of being ranked as the #1 home inspection
franchise business in North America by Entrepreneur Magazine for the
5th year in a row, Utah Pillar to
Postâ
Franchisees have reason to be proud of
their achievements locally. At the Pillar to Postâ
Super Session franchisee conference held
in Jacksonville, Florida in late January, 2007, all five Utah
franchise owners were recognized for outstanding performance during
2006.
Frank
Ross, owner of Southwest Utah’s Pillar to
Postâ
franchise was recognized for completing
his 1000th inspection. This important milestone was reached in
July, 2006. “We’re pleased to be affiliated with the
top-rated home inspection franchise company in the country and to
have the opportunity to celebrate this milestone with those who made
it possible,” said Frank. “Our goal is to offer peace of mind to
all parties involved in the transaction through a clear and thorough
report. I think this award is evidence that we are achieving that
goal.”
Utah County franchise owner, Steve Smith, was recognized for
significant business growth over the past year. Of his relationship
with the Pillar to Postâ
franchise system, Steve remarked, “It’s great to be in association
with these franchisees and offering this top quality inspection
service.”
The recipient of three awards, Fred Larsen’s team serves the Salt
Lake County area. Last year he reached the 2500 inspection
milestone and was able to set some records for growth as well as
sales volume. “The Pillar to Postâ
system is second to none,” states Fred. “The report is so thorough
and informative.”
As
owners of the first Utah Pillar to Postâ
franchise to be established, Joe Rush and Lou Jerome have over ten
years of experience behind them in Northern Utah. They were
recognized for outstanding sales volume. Joe and Lou both say they
are happy to be working within the Pillar to Postâ
franchise system. “We pride ourselves on our reputation for honest
reporting,” says Joe.
“We’re not just another home inspection service,” notes Pillar to
Postâ
corporate CEO Dan Steward. “Our professionalism and our thoroughness
set Pillar To Postâ
apart from other home inspection companies and those who provide
superficial home inspections as a sideline. We are determined to
work hand-in-hand with other professionals involved in residential
sales to make home purchases a satisfying experience.”
Pillar To Postâ
home inspection franchisees work cooperatively with other
professionals in the residential sales field, such as Realtorsâ,
bankers, insurers and lawyers to make home purchase a smooth and
problem-free experience for the consumer. Realtorsâ
frequently recommend Pillar To Postâ
inspections to their clients to ensure they remain satisfied with
their purchase for many years to come.
