Our Origins

A-Pro® was founded in 1993 by Greg Mangiaracina, an entrepreneur with a background in mass marketing. His personal experience buying a house highlighted the deficiencies in the home inspection process. At that time, the organized home inspection industry was relatively young, and home buyers often relied on friends or family with construction knowledge for advice.

Mangiaracina recognized the need for deliberate technical training, business and marketing expertise, and standardized inspection practice.

By 1994, A-Pro® was up and running, offering:

Technical Training: A formal training program for inspectors headed by Licensed Professional Engineers.
Standard of Practice: Detailed guidelines for conducting inspections.
Business Support: A startup and operations program.
APro®Proprietary Software: Delivering the first narrative-structured inspection report in the industry.

A-Pro®: Pioneering Growth, Learning, and Innovation

In 1997, A-Pro® shifted its focus toward providing technical leadership in inspector training and enhancing the customer experience. Significant changes implemented, including:

Computerized Inspection Reports:
- A-Pro® introduced a computerized system for generating and presenting inspection reports.
- This innovation replaced traditional forms, streamlining the real estate transaction closing process.
- Color photographs were later incorporated into the report package, enhancing clarity and efficiency.
Frontline Franchisees:
- A-Pro® franchisees serve as the frontline ambassadors of the brand to real estate professionals, home buyers, and sellers with our exclusive Certified Pre-Owned Home® Program.
- Our mission centers on the success of our franchisees, ensuring they deliver exceptional service.
Brand Experience:
- The A-Pro® brand experience remains core to our sustainable competitive advantage.
- Realtors, home buyers, and sellers with our Certified Pre-Owned® Program recognize A-Pro® for its commitment to excellence.

By 2001, A-Pro® had become one of North America’s premier home inspection companies, surpassing competitors that had started a decade earlier. Many of our early franchisees, like Todd Tuvell, continue to thrive within the A-Pro® family. Todd, who began as a home inspector in New Orleans in 1994 and 1997, moved to Wilmington, DE, where he established his own A-Pro® franchise. Today, Todd serves as the Vice President of Franchisee Acquisition.
