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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

What Should a Buyer Expect During a Home Inspection?

Before finalizing a purchase agreement, a house inspection is needed for future homebuyers. A comprehensive home inspection will yield valuable data and address the query of whether the price accurately represents the state of the house. A home inspection should be objective and fact-based.

Home Inspection Process

An essential stage in the home-buying process is a home inspection. The physical structure and systems of a home are inspected non-invasively by visual inspection. In the event that an inspection reveals issues, you can work with the seller to reduce the asking price or schedule repairs before closing. In the event that the house has a major issue and you are unable to come to an arrangement with the seller or negotiate a lower purchase price, you can even choose to call off the transaction.

The main elements of a home are covered in a home inspection. These can generally be divided into five groups that suit any type of house:

  • Siding, windows, doors, slope, drainage, and roof make up the exterior envelope.
  • Foundation- mainly the materials and overall condition. Also,  the methods used in framing.
  • Air conditioning, heating, and ventilation, system controls
  • Electrical fixtures, branch wiring, incoming service, main panel.
  • Plumbing- components and state

Your Work Counts as a Potential Homeowner

The inspector's observations inform every step of the inspection procedure. But this way of thinking needs to change. You should educate yourself about the procedure and your potential home as a prospective homeowner. It will be to your advantage to visit the property ahead of the inspection and allow yourself enough time to examine it. You can also create a buyer's checklist that includes inspecting the house's exterior features like the walls, roof, pool, yard, and garage, as well as its interior features like the general plumbing and electrical systems, the heating and cooling system, any appliances, the condition of the walls, the flooring, etc. This way, you can take note of the stuff that you may find questionable and then ask about it during the inspection.

Importance Of The Right Inspector

Some states need a license for home inspectors, but not all of them do. Wherever you choose to live, make sure the home inspector has the necessary credentials. You are welcome to view an example inspection. Reading online reviews is another great way to find out a lot about a house inspection. To obtain an unbiased assessment, be sure to read both the positive and bad reviews. You can also get a referral from someone you know.
