Local Resident Brings the No. 1 Home Inspection Company to Area

(Haysville, KS)-The COVID-19 pandemic served as a wakeup call of sorts for 57-year-old John Hageman. As a result, the Haysville resident is one of the newest franchise owners with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors®, the No. 1 home inspection company in North America. Hageman serves homebuyers, sellers and agents throughout south-central Kansas – including Wichita and the surrounding areas such as Wellington, Winfield, El Dorado, Hutchinson, Harper, Newton, Kingman and Pratt.

Hageman spent almost 30 years as a facility maintenance technician for a manufacturing company, but he was let go from his position during the pandemic. It was time for Hageman to assess what he wanted to do next. “My enthusiasm for my job was declining a little bit, so I decided it was the perfect time to get my ambition back,” Hageman said. “I was looking to be my own boss, so I started checking out franchises.”

Hageman already has a good foundation for a home inspection career. His father was a custom home builder and was involved in the industry until Hageman was 22. “I did my share of due diligence and Pillar To Post Home Inspectors stood out,” Hageman said. “My knowledge of homes combined with my technical and maintenance background seemed like a good fit with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors and the great support they provide to their franchise owners.”

Hageman’s decision to become a franchise owner comes at an opportune time, because according to Pillar To Post Home Inspectors President and CEO Dan Steward,

“We were in the process of rolling out some pretty amazing technologies pre-COVID-19 that are now in full swing for all Pillar To Post Home Inspections. One of these is the PTP360 tour. PTP360 is an interactive, virtual home inspection tour that allows users to revisit a home anytime and anywhere from a smartphone, tablet or desktop and even share the tour with family and friends. “It’s a great new innovation – fast-tracked to completion because of COVID-19 concerns – and we saw just how well it performed,” Steward said. Clients can also receive a Floor Plan of the entire home, with measurements to help with furniture fit and placement. “In the long term, PTP360 is a huge help for busy, professional Realtors, saving them time and better serving their seller, while also giving prospective buyers a far better experience,” Steward said.

Pillar To Post Home Inspectors has achieved the highest standing in various rankings of “Best in Category,” “Top 20 Franchises to Buy,” “Top 10 Global Franchises” and “Top Franchises for Veterans,” in addition to achieving 5-Star status with VetFran, a program offered by the International Franchise Association that provides discounted franchise fees to veterans. A professional evaluation both inside and outside the home is at the core of Pillar To Post Home Inspectors’ service. Pillar To Post Home Inspectors input data and digital photos into a computerized report. All information is provided to clients in a customized binder for easy reference, allowing homebuyers or sellers to make confident, informed decisions.
