Tired of the hassle of making multiple phone calls for home inspections, Dan Egan found both convenience and a trusted partner in the professional home inspection franchise.
17-year real estate agent Dan Egan understands that one of the biggest investments a person will ever make is their home, and the key to understanding the condition of their home is the home inspection.
It is because of this that the Colorado Springs based Keller Williams agent exclusively trusts HomeTeam Inspection Service— a 200-plus-location home inspection brand known for its unique team-based approach — and exclusively recommends their services to other real estate agents. The biggest draw of the brand for Egan? HomeTeam’s team-based approach that ensures that multiple inspectors are on site for each inspection. Following this method, not only are inspections faster, but they are also more thorough as each inspector can hone in on individual areas throughout the property.
“To buy a house without an inspection would be extremely unwise,” said Egan. “A buyer needs to understand the components of the home and see the condition of everything and learn if there are any issues. Most issues are not easily noticeable, and a good inspector will find them. That's really more important than anything.”
As a busy Realtor®, there are many moving parts to a home inspection and coordinating them all can be a burden — especially with multiple clients. That’s where HomeTeam is able to help agents like Egan with its inclusive, multi-faceted approach.
“Prior to HomeTeam, I was working with a few different inspectors and they weren’t able to handle add-on components like radon tests, sewer line scopes, mold tests, and more. Because of that, I would have to schedule each of those tests separately,” said Egan. “For a busy Realtor®, it becomes very difficult and quickly adds on extra work. When I heard about HomeTeam and the fact that they handle all areas of testing, I realized I could schedule everything through them for convenience. I immediately knew that my job was about to become much easier.”
Egan also pointed to HomeTeam’s online scheduling capabilities as a convenient bonus, paired with the ability to send a simple “email blast” to his clients to confirm inspection appointments. Additionally, inspection reports are available within 24 hours or less, allowing Egan to move the closing process along faster while being able to trust that the information within the inspection report is accurate.
HomeTeam President Adam Long couldn’t be happier that local real estate agents like Egan are embracing HomeTeam as their exclusive inspection service.
“The relationship that HomeTeam inspectors have developed with local real estate agents is invaluable and we want to continue to be a resource for homeowners and real estate agents alike,” said Long. “Potential home buyers should always have the confidence that they are purchasing a structurally sound home, and our multi-approach inspector model ensures that every house gets a thorough and timely report to help buyers make an informed decision.”
In regard to how Egan’s clients have received HomeTeam — they have loved knowing that they can walk into an inspection and understand what is going on in real time, thanks to the guidance of the HomeTeam inspectors. Typically, Egan advises his buyers to show up about 45 minutes into the inspection. By the time the buyers arrive, the inspectors are in the final stages and will be able to explain any notes or findings to the buyer, ensuring that they fully understand every piece of information included in the inspection report.
“Where HomeTeam is really great for the client is relationally,” said Egan. “Scott and Brad at HomeTeam Inspection Service of Colorado Springs are fantastic guys and have always been extraordinarily helpful and kind to both the homeowner and to the buyer. They're well spoken and always happy to explain anything or answer any questions.”
When all is said and done, Egan emphasized that apart from the convenience and accuracy that comes with working with HomeTeam, he genuinely enjoys forming relationships with the team members.
“We spend a lot of time together at these inspections because, as a licensed real estate professional, I also attend each inspection,” said Egan. “I have spent a lot of time with Scott and Brad over the years and they are just fantastic. We’ve become friends. I enjoy being around them and I fully trust them to take care of my clients.”
