About The HouseMaster Franchise

Our founder, Ken Austin entered the industry in 1971 and began franchising under the HouseMaster name in 1979. Since then, we have pioneered every major advancement including the introduction of ASHI, the first industry trade association to set home inspection standards and NIBI®, a premier resource of home inspection education and certification.

We introduced the first on-site written report, agent indemnification program and online training programs. We continue to lead the way in technology, training and support.

It’s no wonder that  the HouseMaster Brand is renowned for franchisee success and retention. So good in fact that we have multiple 2nd generation owners and even a 3rd generation owner. Our average franchise has been with the HouseMaster System over 12 years and our average gross sales is the highest in the industry. For us, happy customers and happy franchise owners means great business success!

Today Ken Austin’s daughter, Kathleen Kuhn is the President of the HouseMaster System.  No person has more business experience in the home inspection industry than Kathleen. She understands the business at every level.

The HouseMaster Vision Is Very Simple. To Take Pride, Make Money, And Have Fun.

These simple values are at the core of everything we do at HouseMaster.

  • Take Pride:
    • The HouseMaster Support team and our franchisees are among the most passionate professionals in the industry. We take great pride in what we do and enjoy bringing true value to our customers and communities. And like a true Master, we continue to look for ways to expand our knowledge and improve our craft.
  • Make Money:
    • At HouseMaster we have set high goals for all levels of achievement including a strong bottom-line. While we get great personal satisfaction from our work, we are also deliberate and focused on financial success.
  • Have Fun:
    • We take what we do seriously. We also enjoy a good time and a great laugh and do all we can to have fun along the way. At our Annual Conference or whenever people from our franchise family get together, a good time is had by all!
