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.

I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.

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!

The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!

This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.

We are relocating from out of state and we were in need of an inspection with a very tight turn around. We received incredibly thorough reporting and an availability to answer questions quickly. Cary Cooper’s professional and expert insight saved us from a potential health hazard. I would very much recommend Atlanta Property Inspection for any of your inspection needs!

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

Atlanta Property Inspections came to do a pre-purchasing inspection on a home my husband and  I plan to buy! We had a very short due diligence period, but that was no issue for these guys. They fit us in their schedule on very short notice and were such a pleasure to work with. Cary and Riley came to do the inspection and did a fantastic job walking us through the inspection to let us know what they found, and suggestions on how to fix all of the issues! Shout out to Cary, for answering all of our questions and having such a great personality! We truly appreciate you guys taking the time to help us through such a very stressful time. We HIGHLY recommend this company!

Downsizing Tips For Seniors

One of the best things for seniors to do after retirement is downsizing. A smaller living space means fewer items to use, lower bills, and a safe space. Throughout this article, we will go through when it is the right time to downsize homes for seniors, tips to make downsizing easier, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

When Is The Right Time to Downsize Homes for Seniors?

Most seniors want to live the rest of their lives in their current home. However, sometimes, your loved ones should downsize their homes. Here is a list that shows the right time to downsize:

  • If the monthly housing expenses are not affordable
  • The yard and house maintenance becomes hard
  • Not much money is left after paying the expenses
  • The environment isn’t good for aging, like too many stairs.

Tips to Make Downsizing Easier

If you have trouble downsizing, here are some tips that will make the process easier for you:

  1. Organize Items In Categories: When you downsize, you must start organizing items into different categories. Organizing your items will allow you to easily keep up with what you want to keep, get rid of, donate, or sell.
  2. Get Rid of Trash: One common problem we see in people who want to downsize is they don’t want to get rid of anything. However, the point of downsizing is to minimize the items count to only the essential ones. So, do not hold yourself back from throwing anything away. However, sometimes, you shouldn’t throw away everything. Who knows, maybe you can sell them?
  3. Sell Unnecessary Items: Some houses are just filled with valuable items that not even homeowners remember having. We have talked about the importance of getting rid of items when it comes to downsizing for homes. One good way of doing so is to start selling your items. Host a yard sale. Repurpose the items you no longer want to keep in your house and sell them. You will be able to make a big profit and have to give it to someone else who will value your items. With the profits made, you can even fund your lifestyle changes.
  4. Prepare Essential Bags: It is crucial to prepare essential bags like sleepwear, medication, bedding, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and kitchen and meal supplies. Having bags for these will give the person constant access to such important items.
  5. Buy a Storage Unit: Sometimes, we don’t have enough space to organize the items we want. Buying a storage unit will allow you to organize many items into a single unit.
