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.
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!
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 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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

Not a single home is in perfect condition. However, home inspections are necessary to understand the minor flaws and the major problems a future homebuyer cannot ignore due to safety concerns. When you place an offer on a home, the real estate agent suggests that depending on what the home inspection provides, the offer may be subject to further discussion. When you receive the inspection report, be sure to read it carefully. You can always ask your inspector to explain any technical language used in reports if you think anything is unclear.
After the inspection, you can go over the details of the report and discuss the details with the homeowner. If the homeowner doesn’t agree to make the repairs you find important, you can do a few things. Of course, the first one asks the homeowner to drop the price. This might be quite beneficial for you.
You may also receive a professional’s opinion on whether the home will have increased value after you buy it and fix those issues yourself if the professionals tell you that the ROI of your improvements is high and worth your time and effort. You may just decide to buy the home and make those repairs yourself.
In the end, if you don’t have the time or the effort to make those repairs, you can always walk away from buying the house, especially if the overall situation doesn’t look so bright. Of course, you should always consult your real estate agent and the inspection company to make your final decision. But remember that walking away is a serious decision, and you want to make sure you’re not doing anything you will regret later. So, here are some of the questions you can ask yourself.
Conclusion
Remember to understand and empathize with both parties. A seller doesn’t have to make certain repairs; as a buyer, you don’t have to deal with a seller who doesn’t want to do repairs after a home inspection. However, even though choosing between the two options isn’t easy, you will have to choose and accept the consequences of that decision. In the end, assess all your options very carefully. If you need professional help regarding the entire home inspection process, we’re happy to inform you that Atlanta Property Inspection offers reliable home inspection in Atlanta, GA.
