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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.

If you’re looking to purchase a new home, congratulations! Buying a home is a big milestone in anyone’s life. However, the housing market has become more competitive than ever. This brings the temptation to waive a home inspection to make the offer more appealing to sellers. This is a big mistake. Those who’ve done it before often end up facing costly surprises after closing, from hidden structural issues to outdated electrical and plumbing systems.
In this blog post, the home inspectors at Atlanta Property Inspections look into the risks of waiving a home inspection. As a premier home inspection company with over 25 years of experience, we’ve seen a good number of buyers waive home inspections and the consequences that followed later on.
The whole point of a home inspection is to uncover hidden structural issues before closing. The biggest risk of skipping a home inspection is missing problems such as foundation cracks, settling, roof damage, or framing defects that aren’t always visible during a casual walkthrough. These issues can cost you a fortune down the road and may compromise the safety and stability of your home.
Electrical problems are another common and costly surprise. Outdated wiring, overloaded panels, improper DIY repairs, and code violations can increase the risk of electrical fires. You do not want to take chances with your home’s electrical system—there’s so much at stake. A home inspection in Buford, GA helps identify these dangers early so they can be addressed before you move in.
Leaky pipes, corroded lines, drainage issues, water heater failures, and sewer line problems are often concealed behind walls or underground. Without an inspection, these plumbing issues can lead to water damage, mold growth, and expensive emergency repairs shortly after purchase. After all, you don’t want to purchase a money pit. Get that inspection done and rest assured that your plumbing is in top shape.
Heating and cooling systems may appear to work during a showing but could be nearing the end of their lifespan. It’s as if everything looks fine on the surface, but hidden wear and tear is quietly setting the stage for a costly breakdown. Replacing an HVAC system is a major expense that many homeowners aren’t prepared for. An inspection helps determine whether these systems are working as they should.
Skipping a home inspection can mean missing serious health concerns such as mold, asbestos, radon, faulty smoke detectors, or carbon monoxide risks. These hazards can affect your family’s well-being and require costly remediation if discovered later.
A professional inspection report gives you leverage to request repairs, credits, or price reductions. Without it, you’re agreeing to purchase the home as-is, even if major defects exist. This can leave you financially responsible for issues that could have been addressed before closing.
As we’ve already discussed above, many things can go wrong if you skip a home inspection. Spending a few hundred dollars on a home inspection offers incredible benefits down the road. We guarantee that it’s almost always money well spent. If you’re looking for a top-rated home inspection company, look no further than Atlanta Property Inspections. Our experienced home inspectors have helped countless clients like yourself sail through the home-buying process with confidence by providing detailed reports, honest assessments, and peace of mind before closing.
