A Buyer’s Choice Franchise Opportunity
Founded in 2005, A Buyer’s Choice built North America’s largest home inspection network by prioritizing comprehensive training over industry experience. The franchise expanded from Halifax to headquarters in Pompano Beach, Florida, now supporting over 200 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
The model operates on a principle that resonates with real estate professionals: property buyers, sellers, and REALTORS deserve qualified inspectors who communicate clearly and report thoroughly. Franchisees who build strong REALTOR relationships become the “first-call” inspector in their markets.

ABF Exclusive Insights
Market Analysis: The property inspection industry exceeds $3.7 billion and grows approximately 5% annually as buyers demand transparency before closing. Home inspections are legally required or strongly expected in most real estate transactions, creating consistent demand regardless of market cycles.
Competitive Advantage: Independent inspectors compete on price. A Buyer’s Choice franchisees compete on REALTOR relationships, professional systems, and brand recognition. Agents refer inspectors they trust — franchise training and accountability builds that trust faster than solo operators can.
ABF Timing Insight: With 200+ locations and two decades of operation, A Buyer’s Choice has proven the model. The sub-franchisee structure allows owners to scale beyond personal production, which is rare in service-based franchises at this investment level.
