Ideal Candidate

Our franchise owners come from all walks of life. Some have held positions in corporate environments and are looking for a career change, while others have worked in the industry and are looking to lead their own business. No matter their background, our franchise owners embody characteristics such as:

• Entrepreneurial spirit driven to set and achieve goals
• Desire to build genuine relationships with customers, employees, and other franchisees
• Commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality service
• Accountable to financial responsibilities and requirements

The culture across the entire family of brands is embodied by the Neighborly Code of Values, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a set of ideals that guide the organization. These elements, while small to some, set Neighborly and HouseMaster franchise owners apart from the competition.
