(Oakland, California - May 2024) - Wesley Osaze, a seasoned finance professional with over 20 years of experience in finance, investment consulting, and project management for Fortune 500 companies in Silicon Valley, has launched his new business, the Osazeteam.pillartopost.com, with North America's largest home inspection franchise.

Osaze will service Oakland, Alameda County, and the San Francisco East Bay, providing top-notch home inspection services to homebuyers and sellers. With a decade of experience in rehabilitating and restoring housing throughout California, he brings a high level of professionalism and skill to his new venture.

His extensive career in finance and project management, working for companies like AT&T, Intel, LinkedIn, and McAfee, coupled with his experience in renovating and rehabbing housing, positions him uniquely to address these concerns. “I was doing both concurrently and loved rehabbing houses. My goal is to one day give back by building tiny homes and rehab housing to address the unhoused community,” added Osaze. “In addition, I am looking forward to my son joining me in the business when he graduates.”

Osaze's decision to launch this business was driven by his desire for more flexibility in his schedule to care for an aging parent and to guide his son in preparation for the business world. This business aligns with his current needs and allows him to scale the business with his family. It also gives him immense pride to provide services to the community of Alameda County for this Bay Area San Francisco native.

“I am excited about the opportunity to educate and instill confidence in millennials, who are now becoming home buyers” said Osaze.

Skipping a home inspection can be costly. A survey from insurance firm Hippo found that most homeowners – 77 percent – had to pay for an unexpected repair within the first year of owning a house. During COVID and the subsequent housing boom, many buyers skipped contingencies like home inspections, on contracts for a scramble to win the scarce homes available.

“No one should skip a home inspection or be put in that situation ever again,” said Osaze.
