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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Why You Should Always Read A Home Inspection Agreement

A lot of people see contracts as something to get over, and without even taking the time to read them most of the time, we tend to sign them. However, contracts are very important documents that serve as a record of commitments to something for both parties and prevent further risks and potential conflicts. In almost every major decision we take, contracts are the backbone. So, even if you are a person who doesn’t necessarily read contracts or agreements before signing, there is one you should always read: home inspection agreements. In this article, we’ll go over the importance of reading home inspection agreements.

Here are some of the important points a home inspection agreement should cover.

  • Scheduled date of the inspection
  • The price of the inspection as well as any additional fees for extra features that will be covered.
  • What the inspection includes, which places the inspection will cover, how detailed it will be, etc.
  • What the inspection excludes and whether you want any additional services done.
  • People who will have access to the inspection report.

You’ll Be Aware Of The Scope Of Inspection

The scope and objectives of the house inspection are specified in the agreement. This way, you won’t be surprised when you learn that a certain aspect isn’t covered. Home inspections in Duluth are indeed very detailed processes; however, sometimes the potential issue becomes out of the inspector’s reach, and in this case, they will try to direct you to an expert for things like further testing. 

Future Insurance Claims

It’s important to know the things that will be covered in your inspection because, in case of an emergency, you will need insurance to cover the damage, and most of these insurance companies require a documented pre-inspection agreement before covering damage. You can assume that you won't be covered by the inspector's insurance company if an inspection agreement isn't executed before the inspection.

Setting Expectations

It is important to set certain expectations and standards for home sellers, buyers, and home inspectors. This way, you will have reliable guidelines that all parties have agreed upon. If the potential buyer and the home inspector find common ground with the inspection agreement, the customer will be satisfied with the service they receive, and the home inspector will be more confident and comfortable doing their job, knowing what’s expected from each party.

Post-Inspection

After the inspection, based on the results, as a potential buyer, you may prefer to back out of the sale if the repairs or replacements are too expensive. Another option is asking the homeowner to fix these issues before buying the house or agreeing to cover them on your own with the condition of decreasing the price of the house. If the issues are minor, you may prefer to cover them from your budget; after all, every home is different.
