Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time,  very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.

Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers.  Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners.  Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired.  I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!

Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations.  He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting.  His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.

WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!

The inspector Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic.  When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions.  We were unaware of this problem.  Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements.  For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.

Newer Homes Have Many Benefits (PART 3 OF 3)

Newer homes can offer home buyers several benefits over older homes, most notably energy efficiency improvements and safety upgrades.  Energy efficiency has been a common goal in newer construction, and there have been significant improvements in construction standards and equipment requirements to lower energy costs. In addition, there have been a number of safety changes that affect several areas of safety, including fire safety, child safety, and electrical safety.

In Part One of this three part series we covered Energy Efficiency, and Safety Improvements in Part Two. In this final post we’ll take a look at a few more considerations when looking at newer homes.

Other Considerations:

1. Green Building: Newer homes often employ “Green” building practices and materials such as using sustainable materials for siding, decking, floor covering and interior finishes.  Higher efficiency appliances and low VOC paints and sealants also help make the home a little more “Green” after construction.

2. “Smart Home Applications”: Many new homes have newer technologies including smart home applications and smart thermostats.  These new features can allow the home owner on demand access to various systems throughout the home including climate control, home security, video, date, wireless functions, lighting and other lifestyle factors that affect daily life.

3. Warranties: Most new homes come with a Builder’s Warranty that takes care of issues concerning the construction of the home.  Builder warranties are most often for a one year period with many builders offering a longer warranty period for the structure.

4. Customization: Many builders offer the buyer a chance at some level of customization including design options and other changes.

5. Buyer’s Incentives: Builders often have incentives such as special financing, free appliances, or other incentives to generate interest and sales.  These can total several thousands of dollars in savings for the buyer.

While older resale homes can offer charm and history, and often value, there are certainly many advantages to purchasing a newer home as we’ve discussed over the last three posts. These are all important considerations to make when looking at the perfect home for your family.
