David Dalfino, owner of a Livonia-based Pillar to Post Home Inspection franchise for the past 25 years was recently recognized as the 2023 Strategic Partner of the Year for the Greater Metropolitan Association of Realtors the largest, local Realtor association in Michigan with more than 11,500 members.
Dalfino purchased the franchise in 1998, and his business serves homebuyers and sellers throughout the greater metro Detroit area by providing home inspections. Nominees can only be nominated by a GMAR member, such as a Realtor or broker. The Strategic Partner of the Year award is the highest honor a Strategic Partner Member can receive from GMAR.
“I believe the number one key to successful marketing is consistency,” says Dalfino. “Show up to events, participate, and become a fixture for the organization. You want people shocked if you don’t come, more than surprised that you’re there. We strive to be a consistent professional in all areas, from the reports we provide, the presentation of that information, and in our ongoing support. Our slogan is ‘Professionals supporting professionals.’ We want our clients to be served.”
Home inspections have become a vital part of the real estate sector, providing buyers and sellers with reliable information about the condition and value of a property. The U.S. building inspector industry, measured by revenue, is estimated to have a market size of $4.9 billion according to global research firm IBISWorld.
