Pillar To Post Home Inspectors Gives Valuable Information

(Columbus, GA--April 2024)-- Retired from the military (Army) after 35 years of service, 54-year-old Ben York wanted to try something challenging and new. “Owning my own business is appealing to me because it gives me a large degree of control over operations and I have both the responsibility and rewards for my efforts.”

That’s why Ben recently opened his Pillar To Post Home Inspectors® serving Columbus, Georgia residents. The network is the largest home inspection franchise in North America.

To say York is a great fit for Pillar To Post is an understatement. “It’s an honor to have a franchisee with these accomplishments join our network,” said Randy Weaver, a Startup Director with Pillar To Post. “York’s circumstances and back story could not suit home inspection better.”

“After I did 20 years on the “Operational side” of the military,” said York, I moved to DC and worked in and around the Pentagon for 15 years on the “Force Generation side” as a Force Manager for the Army. The duties are to provide recommendations to senior military leaders for what the future Army should look like to contribute to the Joint Force and achieve our National Objectives. I helped design our Nation’s current and future US Army in terms of manpower, equipment, and units. I am very proud to have served and grateful for all the opportunities the Army has afforded me.”

According to Clever Real Estate, (a site that matches consumers with Realtors) 72 percent of homebuyers from 2020-2022 have regrets over their home purchase. The most common factors that contributed to their remorse were spending too much money and rushing into buying.

And there are other important considerations to mull in addition to a home’s square footage and number of bathrooms. Clever’s survey also found that almost half of homebuyers – 43 percent – made financial concessions like waiving a home inspection amid fierce competition for homes, according to CNBC. And skipping that home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house.

“I am excited to serve Columbus and the Valley. One thing I love about Pillar To Post,” said York, ‘is their Ultimate Home Inspection™ using amazing new technology. The new

groundbreaking tools won an award for ‘best use of technology for consumers’ presented by Franchise Update Media. That’s the level of franchisor I want to be in business with.”
