"Building a business from scratch is tough. Having someone give you the benefit of their 20 years of experience is invaluable. Learning how to avoid the pitfalls of starting up a new business is what Canadian Residential Inspection Services did for me," says Richard Zyp. Richard is a franchisee of Canadian Residential in St. Albert and Edmonton, Alberta. "One of the first things that drew me to the company was the name itself. I am very happy to be working with a homegrown company, in which none of the earnings leave the country," he explains."

"There are a lot of business opportunities available but when I started to look closely at what is actually involved in getting started & becoming successful (time, money, education, return on investment), the opportunity presented by Canadian Residential Inspection Services made the most sense to me," says Alex Cruz. Alex purchased his franchise in Calgary Southeast. He has a business degree and previously worked as a business solutions specialist. He tells us, "Like anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it - this business has certainly given a lot back to me. It allows me to work in a positive environment and meet great people. It's very rewarding."

"I owned the Canadian Residential Inspection Services Franchise in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia for . 15 years. Buying this franchise was one of the best business choices I have made to this point in life. The company makes sure you receive the proper training and continues to be available for ongoing support. It was a great change in lifestyle for me because I was in charge of my own schedule and the financial rewards are great. This is a great franchise to be involved in and the start up costs and fees are much less than most other inspection franchises. When I was ready to retire, I sold my business at a great profit"

"Joining the Canadian Residential team was a very rewarding experience both personally and professionally. The company training program, marketing strategies and advertising material more than prepare you to be successful in the Home Inspection Industry. The service I received from head office was always prompt and courteous and they are open to discuss ideas and willing to implement changes that benefit the organization The reporting software they have developed is industry leading. I received nothing but compliments from my clients on the report's format. It is laid out in a way that makes sense when reviewing and provides them with an easy to understand inspection report."
