Building a home inspection company from scratch? This episode breaks down what actually works—how to ramp from zero to steady bookings, add team members the right way, and build a culture people fight to be part of. If you want a business that outlives your toolbelt, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn / Highlights
The real reason solo inspection businesses sell for less—and how to build transferable value
How Kyle ramped to 5–6 inspections/week in ~90 days after moving markets
Who to hire first (client care vs. inspector) and why it depends on your life season
Practical culture plays: “Duck-season Fridays,” parental leave, and flexible time without chaos
Handling callbacks + conflict: turn angry calls into long-term trust (scripts + mindset)
Perfectionism vs. progress: beating the “all-or-nothing” trap so your team can actually scale
Mission • Vision • Values • Culture (MVVC): using it for interviews, accountability, and buy-in
Why masterminds/annual planning (IEB) compress years of trial-and-error into weeks
