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!
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!
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 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!
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 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.
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.
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!
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.

A home inspection is a visual inspection of a house's physical structure and systems. If faults are discovered during the inspection, as a buyer you can negotiate with the seller to lower the price or arrange for repairs before closing. If there is a major problem with the home and you are unable to negotiate a lower purchase price or otherwise reach an agreement with the seller, you may choose to terminate the sale. That is why this process is a crucial part of the home buying process.
Home inspectors are required to be licensed in several states, but not all of them. Make sure the house inspector you pick is fully credentialed, regardless of where you live. You can ask to see a sample inspection. In addition, you can learn a lot about a house inspector by reading online reviews. Make sure to read both the negative and positive evaluations to get an unbiased opinion. You can also ask someone you know for a recommendation.
If you are the buyer, ask your inspector about coming along. Most likely they won’t have any problems with it. Coming to the inspection would be beneficial for you since you'll get the opportunity to look around your new house and ask any questions you may have. Observing the process helps you understand how serious or insignificant each issue is.
If you are the seller, try to make the process easy for the inspector and buyers. For example, tell them where to find keys, and make sure all the lights and appliances like furnaces and fireplaces are already working. Make sure you clear the path down the stairs to your furnace or water heater as well as your attic and basement.
Remember that it is the right of the buyer to walk away if they’re not satisfied. After a home inspection, the buyer may be able to renegotiate their offer or request repairs if certain issues come up. In some cases, the buyer may walk away from the purchase if the home inspection reveals more issues than they’re willing to deal with. After the home inspection, the buyer and seller can either negotiate the contract or end the process completely.
The structural components of your home will be the focus of a home inspection report, ensuring that it is safe to live in. Cosmetic repairs are ones that do not put your health in jeopardy or lower your quality of life. Peeling wallpaper or mismatched paint may irritate you, but it will not be highlighted in the house inspection report. So, if you will try to negotiate exclusively because of cosmetic repairs with the seller, it will not work out.
If you're going to do every part of your home buying process in the appropriate manner, you should include a professional home inspection.
