Roland works hands-on with new franchise owners and helps train them on how to operate and grow their businesses. His high energy, willingness to work hard and optimistic outlook are the cornerstones of the success for NPI. His easy manner and family attitude inspire a friendly and close atmosphere at the company.

Roland Bates, President of NPI


Since 1992, Julie has been the first point of contact for prospective franchise owners. She works with them throughout the prequalification process and is always available to answer their questions. Julie’s warmth and genuine compassion reflect the culture of NPI, and NPI franchise owners always comment that Julie and her representation of NPI made them know that we were the franchise they wanted to become a part of.

Julie Erickson, Director of Franchise Sales


“After evaluating four or five franchisors, National Property Inspections came out the leader. The rest is history. I felt NPI offered the best bang for the buck. Some of the initial investment comes back to you in training, supplies, software and computer equipment. But most of all I liked the people at NPI. There is something to be said for Midwestern values. That made my decision pretty easy.”

— Jeff Gilly, NPI franchise owner, Carmichael, California

“[Julie Erickson] was pleasant, patient with my questions and extremely informative. It was a big difference from the other franchises I had called. I was impressed that she wanted to know about me and what I was looking to do and what I wanted from the franchise. No one else asked me what I wanted or told me what they could do for me. All of the other franchises were very cold when talking to them and let me know what I was required to do for them by owning their franchise. It was a huge difference speaking with NPI.”
