At A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections (ABCHI), our commitment to excellence is amplified by our affiliation with the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA). This partnership not only strengthens our franchise network – on both a national and local level – but it also delivers tangible benefits to our inspectors, clients and Realtor partners across Canada.
Franchising empowers local entrepreneurs while maintaining the consistency and support of a larger network. ABCHI takes pride in contributing to this dynamic sector, delivering exceptional home inspection services that uphold the values of integrity, professionalism and community engagement. Franchise locations are small businesses that are locally owned and operated, and contribute to the local community. In fact, franchising is a major contributor to the local economy and employment.
If you’ve ever thought about owning a business but didn’t want to start from scratch, franchising may be a perfect fit for you!

Here’s how joining ABCHI has helped franchisees Valerie and Steve Fraser in Medicine Hat, Alberta become proud entrepreneurs.
“We joined ABCHI as we wanted to become entrepreneurs with the freedom to be masters of our time while building a strong, community-focused team. The recognized ABCHI brand, proven tools and processes, and the ability to run our franchise as our own business – with the support and guidance of our regional owners – gave us the confidence to step away from being an employee to being entrepreneurs. Backed by a team of over 100 professional inspectors across the country, we’re proud to be part of a brand that sets the standard in home inspections.”
