Local Couple is Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® Franchisees

Boise, ID)--The saying goes that you only have one chance to make a first impression. For Danny Pankowski and Amanda Wallace, their first impression of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the No. 1 home inspection company in North America, proved a harbinger of change in the lives of the Meridian couple and their five children. The couple had simply been looking for a qualified home inspector as they considered leaving their previous careers and embarking on a new one flipping homes and managing properties out of state. However, their search for a home inspector proved more fruitless than fruitful – no one answering, calls to voicemail - until they finally reached out to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors. How impressed were they? In early February, they became one of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ newest franchise owners, serving Boise, Meridian, Melba, Kuna, Nampa, Caldwell, Emmett, Mountain Home, Idaho City and surrounding areas.

“We made the call to Pillar To Post and the rest was history,” Pankowski said. “When we got the inspection report we were both shocked at the level of detail. We had never seen such thoroughness. We had bought six other homes in the past and not one stood up to the Pillar To Post standard.” Being newly minted small-business owners is definitely a change in direction for the 34-year-old Pankowski and Wallace, 32. Pankowski spent 12 years with DIRECTV and AT&T, the last nine as a senior manager, while Wallace spent seven years with a local satellite television retailer. They were both in search of a fresh start. “We have five children to lead and set an example for each day,” Wallace said. “We talk to them daily about being the best that you can be. While we both had great jobs and led by example, we were not holding ourselves to the same standard we were trying to set. We both knew we should be pushing for a better life for our family but had never been at a point in life to take the leap of faith to start a business.”

Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is the brand to which more than three million families have turned to for more than 25 years to be their trusted advisor when buying or selling a home. Consistently ranked for 23 years on Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual Franchise500®, Pillar To Post Home Inspectors is enjoying its eighth consecutive year as No. 1 in their category on that coveted ranking. In addition, the company has 5-Star status with the VetFran, a program offered by the International Franchise Association for veterans that provides discounted franchise fees to veterans.

“We decided to look into the opportunity when the time was right,” Pankowski said. “We reached out and the process was the same as our inspection – flawlessly executed and very impressive. We decided to proceed, take our leap of faith and quit working for someone else. Our kids and family had a bit of shock at first because it was a huge change, but everyone is on board and excited to embody the journey.”
