HOLLISTER, Calif., Nov. 23, 2016 — HouseMaster, the first and most experienced home inspection franchise company in the United States and Canada, recently honored Bruce Howe of Hollister, CA. with the Chairman Circle Award, at the company's annual conference held Oct. 5-9 at the Providence Marriott Downtown, in Providence, R.I.

The award recognizes franchisees who have achieved sales volume more than $650,000 during the 12-month period from July 2015 through June 2016.

"We feel fortunate to have been able to achieve Chairman's Circle Membership," Howe said. "We attribute that to the large franchise service area we were given and the continual introduction by HouseMaster of new customer benefits and marketing programs that maintain our advantage in the marketplace."

Attendees at this year's HouseMaster Conference enjoyed sessions focused on best practices in hiring, reporting, and social media marketing; as well as the launch of sophisticated online marketing tools designed to build on the company's 2016 dynamic content marketing platform.

Additionally, attendees were introduced to the company's online home management tool, HouseMaster Cloud, which will offer consumers online document management, maintenance alerts, and reminders based in inspection findings. The service is designed to help home owners better manage and maintain their home.

"Each year, I have the great honor to recognize some of HouseMaster's best and brightest who execute the HouseMaster method with pride and precision," President of HouseMaster Kathleen Kuhn said. "The core principles and mission of HouseMaster include taking pride in all we do. This year's conference theme - confidence - reflects the confidence we have in our business owners."

"This year we have set the stage for our owners to implement an aggressive strategic plan geared to taking HouseMaster to the next level," Kuhn said. "HouseMaster franchise owners are a great example of everything that makes HouseMaster the leader in the home inspection industry."
