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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

How Do Home Inspections Improve Your Property Value?

A home inspection is a detailed analysis of the condition of your house. A professional home inspector will come to your house and inspect various aspects and let you know about the overall situation in general. If you go along with the inspection before selling, your chances of selling it for a better price will increase. They look at the integrity of the structure, your plumbing system, electrical system, air conditioning and heating, roof damage, and pests.

Repairs

If you live in a home for a long time, it's hard to notice specific problems because you are so used to them. So, learning what parts of your house needs repair from a professional is always an excellent second opinion. Since home inspectors can tell you about the main problems regarding your house, you can work on those to improve the various systems inside your home, increasing its value. Additionally, if the issues are related to the appearance of your home, you can also fix those and make your home give an excellent first impression to potential buyers. Without the inspection, there's a very low chance you can improve all the parts of your home that needs improvement.

Positive Features

In addition to drawing attention to your home's issues, inspections can also draw attention to the new and advantageous parts of your home. For example, suppose you recently installed a new water heater, a new garage door, or improved your plumbing system or roof. In that case, all these things will be noted in the inspection, and when the right time comes, these highlights will allow you to get a better price during the selling process.

Efficiency During Selling Process

It's always a smart idea for a seller to receive inspection services before the buyer. That's because when the buyers are the first ones to request home inspection, either the buyer will take care of the critical issues and you will have to lower the initial prices, or both parties will not be able to agree, and the deal will not take place. This whole process will only waste time and energy for both parties. So, to avoid surprises, wait for what the home inspection will reveal about your house and take your next steps, depending on that. You can either make the necessary improvements and set the price, or don't make the improvements and set the price based on your knowledge of your house.

Schedule Your Inspection Today!

Even if you aren't currently considering selling your house, you should know that frequent inspections are great ways to identify more minor problems at early stages and take action. If you decide to sell your house one day, you will be ready and won't need to go through many other processes. If it's time for a home inspection in Duluth, GA, call the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection, who will be available to answer all your questions regarding the process and for additional benefits. Remember, a professional home inspection is always beneficial for both the buyer and the seller.
