By partnering with HomeTeam, agents like Coldwell Bankers’ John Chudzinski know their clients will get a high quality pf service when it comes to home inspections.
As Coldwell Bankers' top Colorado Springs agent, John Chudzinski knows just how big of an investment a person's home is. That’s why, despite a real estate market that had been shifting toward higher interest rates in Colorado, Chudzinski will never recommend skipping an inspection. And he trusts Scott Whitbeck, the owner of HomeTeam Inspection Service of Colorado Springs, to get them done right.
“You should always have an inspection,” he said. “You want to know what you're buying at the very least. Why would you ever buy something that is the number one asset in your life and not understand its condition?”
Through an ongoing partnership with Whitbeck and HomeTeam, Chudzinski can rest assured that every inspection will be a job well done.
Chudzinski was initially introduced to Whitbeck by accident. A few years ago, while searching for a new home inspector, he was recommended a name by his managing broker. Having researched what was later discovered to be the wrong home inspector, Chudzinski found Whitbeck and decided to work with him. Despite their unintended connection, Whitbeck and HomeTeam’s performance exceeded expectations, leading to an ongoing partnership between the two.
“I've been using Scott ever since and have been recommending him if any Realtor ever comes and asks me for a good home inspector,” said Chudzinski. “He’s just been awesome.”
What Sets HomeTeam Apart
Through partnerships with local real estate agents like Chudzinski, HomeTeam owners build connections that grow their own networks while supporting agents and their clients through the buying process with the help of professional home inspections.
“HomeTeam gives the client a real sense of the condition of the home,” said Whitbeck . “It pretty much leaves no doubt once we’re gone what the true condition of the home is, which relates to their confidence in going further with the purchase.”
Chudzinski noted that Whitbeck is highly knowledgeable and certified in his field, offering a comprehensive range of inspection services. Unlike other home inspectors, HomeTeam is a one-stop shop for home inspection services, including sewer scopes, mold testing, radon testing and more.
Whitbeck is also known for his thoroughness and matter-of-fact approach when assessing a property's condition. Unlike some home inspectors who may exaggerate issues, Whitbeck presents the facts objectively, ensuring clients receive an accurate understanding of any flaws.
“You want somebody that is good with the customer,” said Chudzinski. “ Someone who doesn't scare them away from the purchase when they're delivering the bad news.”
Chudzinski added that the convenience of HomeTeam’s scheduling platform allows Realtors to easily coordinate inspections within contract timelines. And Whitbeck’s flexibility enhances the convenience factor even more, as he is willing to accommodate last-minute bookings or adjust his schedule to meet the needs of the client. This combination of credibility, reliability and flexibility makes working with HomeTeam a seamless and efficient process for Realtors and their clients alike.
How HomeTeam Enhances the Client Experience
The partnership between Chudzinski and HomeTeam creates a more positive experience for clients. From a thorough job to communication with homeowners, working with someone as reputable as Whitbeck makes everyone’s lives easier.
“You need somebody who is reliable, good with the client and does a thorough job,” Chudzinski said. “We're putting our name on that person because, most times, clients don’t know a home inspector of their own. So when you recommend somebody, you have to be sure that that person is going to do a good job.”
HomeTeam President Adam Long is glad that local real estate agents are choosing HomeTeam as their exclusive inspection service.
“The relationship that HomeTeam inspectors have developed with local real estate agents is invaluable and we want to continue to be a resource for homeowners and real estate agents alike,” said Long. “Potential home buyers should always have the confidence that they are purchasing a structurally sound home, and our multi-inspector model ensures that every house gets a thorough and timely report to help buyers make an informed decision.”
