If you’re a home inspector trying to grow your inspection business, you’ve probably felt the squeeze: answering calls in the attic, doing the inspection, writing the report, handling scheduling, payments, marketing, bookkeeping, and still trying to be present for your family. 

In this episode of the Inspector Empire Builder podcast, Matt sits down with Hank Lobdell of Radiant Property Inspections to break down what it really means to be an IEB coach and why coaching is one of the fastest ways to scale a home inspection company. You’ll hear how the Builder Group supports inspectors from solo operators up to teams of 4–5 inspectors, what changes when you shift from working in your business to running your business, and why the best operators stop selling on price and start selling on quality, reviews, and reputation. Hank and Matt also talk about pricing confidence, how to handle realtors who negotiate, and the “business owner mindset” that earns instant respect in the real estate industry. 

If you want more inspections, better clients, stronger systems, and a business that can grow beyond you, this episode is for you.

Highlights:

→ You’ll learn what IEB coaching looks like inside the Builder Group and how it helps home inspectors avoid the “potholes” of growth by taking the straight-line path instead of zigzagging. 

→ You’ll hear real talk on why solo inspectors lose realtor relationships when they can’t meet speed-to-schedule demands, and how adding team capacity changes everything. 

→ Hank and Matt explain how to stop competing on inspection pricing, handle discount requests without caving, and position your inspection company as a premium, professional service that earns respect from agents and brokers. 

→ You’ll also learn why accountability partners are a growth cheat code for inspection business owners and how the right community can improve not only business performance, but also leadership, confidence, and the personal side of being a provider.
