I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you

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.

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.

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!

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.

Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home!  The staff at API was great to work with!

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.

Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!

Atlanta property inspections gave me a very competitor quote and stuck to it for final pricing. They were able to get someone out to do the inspection so quickly. Frank and James were very thorough and helpful during the process they encouraged me to look at what they found, the good and bad, so I knew exactly what I am buying.  I couldn't have asked for a better inspection experience!

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.

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.
