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.
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!
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
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!

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, 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.
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!
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.

We know that the most satisfying aspect of the home-buying process is closing both for the realtor and for the buyer. As the realtor, you would want your clients to come to their new house with a satisfied smile and no burning questions in their heads. After all, even though it’s a normal day for you, your clients will be homeowners. Even though it’s the last day, there will be many things to take care of. Because of this, we prepared a checklist for you to cover every necessary part of the closing day.
As you already probably know, there will be many who will attend a closure. Although different states will have different regulations, most likely you will see a lender representative, a title agent, the buyer, the seller, and attorneys. Make sure your client expects these people on the day so it’s not surprising for them. Additionally, inform your client of the day and how it’s going to go. The closing day lasts 1 to 2 hours if everything goes according to plan.
Confirm that the seller has performed the house repairs that were agreed on and, if possible, try to obtain a copy of the paid repair receipts.
Perform a walkthrough of the new home a few days before closing to confirm that it is in the same condition and that everything is working properly. After the walkthrough, go over the Seller’s Disclosure. A Seller's Disclosure is a legally necessary document that the seller must fill out to detail all known faults in the property that could affect your client’s choice to buy it. Read the disclosures thoroughly with your client to see if there are any severe flaws that were skipped during the final walkthrough. This process is very important since it’s your client’s last chance to learn more about the house before making possibly the most important purchase of their lives. Seller disclosures can save your client thousands of dollars in the long run. If you notice anything unusual in the disclosure, make sure your client asks the seller for more information on the flaw or hires a house inspector.
For the convenience of your clients, it is important for them to transfer their utilities, so they don’t have to face problems on their moving day. Make sure to follow up with your client on this issue. Additionally, you can give the clients a list of utility companies and their contact information.
To ensure a smooth process on the closing day, you can inform your client about the things they need to bring with them. Some of these are:
The lender must send the Closing Disclosure couple of days before the closing date. This document is important since it mentions all the critical details of the loan in detail. Make sure to request a copy and review this document with your client to avoid any discrepancies that may arise later.
As a client, during any part of the closing process, you may need a house inspection again. You need to be able to relax knowing that you won't be surprised by unexpected repairs. Luckily, Atlanta Property Inspection is ready to give you that service. We are the right address if you want an expert home inspection.
