A-PRO HOME INSPECTION ADDS FIVE FRANCHISE PARTNERS TO NATIONAL TEAM

NEW ORLEANS (February 25, 2005): A-Pro Home Inspection Services, one of the nation’s leading providers of residential and light commercial property inspections, is pleased to announce the addition of five new franchise owners to its national team of professionals.

The new inspectors include Michael Elko (Groveville, NJ), Brian Fleming (Irwin, PA), Steven Gilham (Nashua, NH), James Harrison (Ocean Springs, MS) and Bill Staniland (Cranberry Township, PA).

“We’re very proud to welcome this talented new group of inspectors to the A-Pro family,” said A-Pro president & founder Greg Mangiaracina, “and are looking forward to helping them become leaders in their respective markets. As always, our national staff will be assisting every step of the way, providing them with the support and resources they need to serve their customers with skill, confidence and – most importantly – professional integrity.”

All five inspectors have successfully completed intensive training and certification courses at A-Pro’s Inspection Training Institute, and are expected to launch their new home inspection businesses in the Spring of 2005. Each will practice their trade under the strict Standards of Practice set forth by the International Society of Home Inspectors (ISHI), which exceed all other national organization requirements.
