A Few Words From our Franchisees . . .

Neil Evans (Edmonton, Alberta)

I have been very happy with my decision to choose a Grassroots® franchise for a number of reasons. The training program is outstanding; it includes on site inspections and is designed to meet ASHI and CAHI standards. The support provided by the company is great and there is always a helpful and friendly voice when needed. The marketing program is very comprehensive and well designed but allows for flexibility to meet individual needs and preferences.

Owning a Grassroots® Franchise is a very satisfying experience; it gives you the best of two worlds: the freedom that comes from owning your own business, and the support, training and planning that is provided by the head office.

Mike Parisotto (Guelph, Ontario)

After many years of working in the New Home construction industry, I felt that I was ready to work for myself…but building homes was not what I was hoping to do. During a visit to a franchise show I stumbled upon a booth, which was promoting Home Inspections. I was not sure what this was but was extremely intrigued. After much discussion took place I felt this field would allow me financial freedom and the ability to be my own boss.

As it has turned out I have been a Grassroots® franchisee for over six years and have not regretted the move I made. The franchisor has been top notch in helping with educational, marketing and emotional needs. Starting your own business can be a very traumatic time, but I never felt alone with support of Grassroots®.

At this point in time, my business is flourishing and I only see more growth and financial freedoms in the future. I would fully recommend that if someone were looking at a home inspection business that they take the time to check out Grassroots® and their unique reporting system. The Grassroots® system will make you stand head and shoulders above all your competitors.

Jim Pesme (Ajax, Ontario)

Over the last eight years as a franchisee I have found Mr. Ashdown to be one the most supportive people I have ever met during my over 30 years of working history. His knowledge of the industry has helped me on many occasions (he is just a call away). His response time is phenomenal! He has been there to help mentor me into creating success that I have today with the Grassroots® Team.

The Grassroots® training and marketing programs have enabled me to create the business success that I now enjoy today as franchisee owner of Durham Region and Scarborough.

Being a private business owner has allowed me to schedule my time as I see fit, enjoy my children, be there for that soccer game or that important school assembly. It is the perfect mix where you can control the workload and create your own destiny.

The home inspection industry as a whole is expanding and continually changing to meet the needs of the consumer. Grassroots® has responded and continues to respond to the changing environment of our industry. Mr. Ashdown has sat on many committees donating his time to the betterment of all who practice in our industry.

My hat goes off to Grassroots® and Mr. Ashdown, a man with more energy, personal caring and forethought than most men I know!
