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!
Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. was referred to us by our realtor for our home inspection. Our inspector was Cary Cooper. He really took the time to answer all of our questions about his findings. We didn't feel rushed or that any question was too silly. He gave us peace of mind with a few of our concerns and was honest, even if we weren't to thrilled with the news. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely use (and refer) Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. in the future for any inspection needs.
I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming! Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.
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!

Being a home inspector comes with good income, flexible hours, and job stability. Inspectors continue to stay in demand since their presence is required with every house bought and sold. While it is true that there are certain requirements to be a home inspector, you also need to have certain skills besides all the certifications and licenses. In this article, we will go over some of the skills that you will need to become a house inspector.
Home inspectors are responsible for evaluating the condition, safety, and worth of homes and other residential assets. They typically examine a home's foundation, systems, walls, doors, roof, windows, and pretty much any part of the house you can think of. As a result of these evaluations, home inspectors write long reports with detailed descriptions and images of any problems they found during inspections. Then, they send these reports to customers who want to sell or buy a house.
As a home inspector, it is essential for you to know every system and part of a house. Mainly because of this, being familiar with aspects of construction is very important for your home inspection training. Although it is not a requirement, if you have worked in or were involved in an aspect of construction before, you will most likely advance far more quickly in your employment compared to others.
In this competition, you will stay ahead if you keep up with the latest tools and technology. If you are caught up with the latest technological tools, you can identify problems that you can’t see normally. For example, you can use a gas detector to detect the presence of flammable or toxic gases.
Of course, in order to practice home inspection in most states, you should obtain a license. There’s no national standard for certification. You should have the proper education about electrical, heating, and air conditioning systems, plumbing, foundations, flooring, insulation, ventilation, external systems, and roofing.
As a home inspector, your job is to convey the findings of your examination to the buyer or the seller in an appropriate manner. Because of this, effective communication skills are essential. It is true that there are many templates for these reports nowadays but still, it is best for you to use your own style when you are talking about the problems and your recommendations. Instead of simply reading from a template, the client would want true guidance from the home inspector since the process is a big event for them.
Time management is also a very valuable skill for a home inspector. You should plan and structure your examination from traveling to the house to effective communication with your client. You will have many things to take care of. Therefore, time management will maximize your efficiency.
