Meet the Team

Matt Rogers

Matt chose to become a professional home inspector because of his and his wife’s passion for real estate and their experience with rentals and flipping properties. He loves educating his clients, helping them feel comfortable with the ins and outs of the property, so they can feel safe moving forward with the purchase.

Matt is a determined, hard worker, and it’s essential to him that you receive exceptional customer service and a high-quality home inspection.

Prior to becoming a professional home inspector, Matt worked in construction and HVAC, which gave him confidence and a deeper understanding of home inspection. He was also a Regional Sales Director for a major retail company, which gave him an understanding of how to provide excellent customer service while properly running a business. He currently serves as the President of his local Business Network International group (BNI).

In Matt’s free time, he enjoys refereeing local high school basketball games and spending as much time as possible in the sun.

adventures, and loves having the opportunity to work part-time in a family business as part of Pillar To
Post–Team Rogers with Matt and Autumn, who are her son and daughter-in-law.

As a receptionist with Pillar To Post, Sharon is a great listener and seeks to answer any questions homebuyers may have, to take some of the stress out of buying a home and to make their home
inspection process go as smoothly as possible. It is personally satisfying for Sharon to help people on their journey to a new home.

Recently, Sharon has successfully completed the Illinois Advanced Radon Measurement Service Provider
Course. She is trained and certified to place and retrieve radon monitors to help homeowners and prospective homeowners to know if they are at risk from radon in the home.

Prior to working with Pillar To Post, Sharon obtained her Doctorate in Ministry and worked as a pastor for 20 years in the Northern Illinois area, including Sycamore, DeKalb and Algonquin. For almost 30 years, she lived in Rochelle with her late husband and raised three amazing children. Before her current home in DeKalb, she lived in Elgin in an over 55 community and played on a bocce ball team.

In Sharon’s free time, she enjoys time with family, traveling, reading, volunteering—currently with Team World Vision, learning, nature, walking, swimming, and audiobooks. She also teaches part-time at
Judson University in the Masters of Christian Leadership program and is a member of the Christian Ministries Advisory Council.

Lawrence Corso

Lawrence Corso is an ASHI-certified home inspector qualified to handle inspections dealing with roofing, part 107 B drones, and sewer scoping. Working in the residential and commercial construction industry led him to discover a passion for real estate. After 18 years of real estate investments and flipping houses, Corso gained the hands-on experience and knowledge to become a home inspector. From air quality and mold to water and drones, the varied day-to-day experiences are one of the most enjoyable parts of the job. He has found fulfillment in helping home buyers understand the ins and outs of a property while addressing their concerns throughout the process. With his extensive experience in the field, he became a nationally accredited master inspector, which is a distinction less than 8% of inspectors achieve in their careers. In his free time, Corso can be found biking on a trail, out on the water, or spending time with family, including teaching his son the tricks of the trade.

Guadalupe (Lupe) Amezquita

What Do You Enjoy Most About Working for Pillar To Post™?

Working for Matt and Autumn has been immensely rewarding for me as a professional and a person. My team’s dedication and overall work ethic at Pillar To Post™ drive me to want to be just as committed to serving the community, especially first-time homebuyers and families making one of the biggest decisions in their lives. I feel honored to come to work every day knowing that the people I work with share the excitement and hopes of the clients we strive to satisfy. This is a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded, and I feel I can continuously evolve into the ideals I value most.

Do You Have Any Interests/Hobbies Outside of Work?

Being the best possible mother I can be and finishing my business degree take up most of my time outside of work. Both have their challenges but are extremely rewarding. I also enjoy spending time walking in nature – especially on the beach when the weather is dry and warm. 

What Does Guadalupe (Lupe) Amezquita Bring to the Team at Pillar To Post™?

One of the most advantageous traits I bring to the team is a real passion for giving people the confidence they need to buy a new home. Pillar To Post™ provides a critical service in giving a complete picture of the condition of a home that allows people and families to understand how their investment will unfold over time. A house that looks perfect on the outside may have underlying issues that could greatly affect the financial stability and happiness of people, and having that information before making a purchase is vital to their success. I take the role Pillar To Post™ plays in that process and my specific part very seriously. 

Passion and motivation are important, but I also bring with me a considerable amount of knowledge about my duties at Pillar To Post™ and how to fulfill them efficiently and effectively. My bilingual skills will also allow me to provide our critical services to more members of the community with skill and compassion. I am on a never-ending quest to learn more so that I may be a better asset to Pillar To Post™ and help the brand grow.
