“As the inventory of foreclosed and ‘as-is’ properties rises, people understand that their purchase isn’t a good deal unless they know exactly what they are buying. This is especially true since many of these homes have been abandoned, or even worse, abused by the previous tenants. These franchisees play a vital role in their communities by helping buyers make smart investment decisions. Their constant professionalism, integrity and skill have distinguished them from the competition and this designation recognizes their commitment and hard work,” stated Kylene Golubski, Vice President of Business Planning & Development for Inspect-It 1st Property Inspection.

Inspect-It 1st franchisees perform residential and commercial property inspections, in addition to a variety of ancillary services that vary by geography.
