Patrick Eades is A Franchisee with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors
After 20 Years of Making Money for Others, This New Pillar To Post Home Inspector Will Reap His Own Rewards

(Olathe, KS)-There’s a big difference between being a cog in the machine and being the machine itself. For the first time in two decades, Patrick Eades feels the satisfaction of what it’s like to be the machine as he recently became one of the newest franchise owners with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the No. 1 home inspection company in North America. The 42-year-old Olathe resident serves homebuyers and sellers throughout Johnson County, including Olathe, Overland Park, Shawnee, Lenexa, Gardner, Leawood, Mission, Prairie Village, Merriam, Roeland Park, De Soto, Edgerton, Mission Hills, Fairway and Westwood.
Eades spent the last 20 years in the manufacturing industry, first with a multi-national consumer goods corporation and most recently with a pharmaceutical company that manufactured animal vaccines. While successful in his roles, Eades never felt the sense of ownership for his work that he now enjoys as a small-business owner. “Everything I created was owned by the large corporation; I never got to see the benefits of the products I made for customers,” Eades said. “By building my Pillar To Post Home Inspectors business, I can aspire to my personal goals and experience first-hand the rewards of my hard work.”
Eades has plenty of hands-on experience with real estate, having updated and remodeled four houses on his own while also having owned several rental properties. “Having gone through the home-buying process several times, I can relate to the many different feelings experienced by both buyers and sellers,” he said.
