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.

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!

I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

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 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!

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.

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!

Can a Home Inspection Kill a Sale? Let’s Talk About It

There’s a lot of thought and process that goes into buying a home, and undoubtedly, the most important one is home inspection. Home inspection is the first time a third person closely observes your house to see it as a whole with all the aspects with an objective eye, from its wallpaper to the entire plumbing system. Naturally, it’s one of the biggest factors that go into a sale, and because of this, both buyers and sellers sometimes worry that the inspection can break the deal. However, can that really be the case? The answer is more than a simple yes or no. Let’s talk about it more.

Adressing the Misconceptions

The concern regarding home inspections mainly comes from the fear of the unknown and is a major misconception. After all, you’ve probably inspected the house yourself and found almost everything about it to be perfect, from its outdoors to its neighborhood, and while you’re starting to love the place and think of it as your future house, a process that will take a few hours will bring the possibility of losing your ideal house. However, this process should be thought of as a long-term investment. If everything regarding the house isn’t in a fully clear state, what will happen if in a few years you face a major problem like water damage or discover a shifting foundation? There will be many people who will be blamed, and nobody wants to find themselves in that situation. A buyer always has the right to dismiss the sale if the issues that inspections discover seem to be beyond repair or replacement, and this is protective to both the buyer and the seller.

Viewing Inspections as a Powerful Tool For Negotiations

Like we mentioned before, it’s very important to acknowledge that home inspections are protective measures for buyers. It provides a clear and thorough picture of the state of the property. Not only does it tell you about the current problems but also the hazards and potential future problems that will need repairs or replacements. All aspects of the electrical system, plumbing system, roof, attic, foundational components, appliances, floors, and walls are carefully examined. Buyers will know about the state of the house in its full clarity, and sellers can repair any issues before closing. This way, the final report will be analyzed, and the next step will be worked upon by both parties. 

Reliable Home Inspection Services In Your Area

In conclusion, of course the inspection report will reveal a set of issues that will play a major role in the future buyer’s and seller’s choice. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that sale is completely off. At this point, the best route is for you to sit down and have a conversation with the seller about the options both parties have. Of course you may decide to give up on the sale, or arrangements regarding repairs and replacements can be discussed, or the home’s original price can be discussed again. No matter what the outcome is, working with a home inspection company lets you finish this process with the maximum clarity and effectiveness. If you are looking for a reliable home inspector for your future home, this is where your search ends.
