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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

Don’t Panic! Why a Long Inspection Report Isn’t Always Bad News

When you want to sell a property, conducting a home inspection is crucial in ensuring you get your money’s worth. Sometimes, home inspectors may take longer to complete their evaluations, raising concerns. A long inspection report can put sellers in a state of limbo, where they do not know whether it is bad or good news. When it comes to long home inspection reports, there are many variables to consider that lead to a lengthy report. As a trusted home inspection company, Atlanta Home Inspections can help you determine the condition of your property. Let’s delve into the common reasons for a long report for peace of mind.

Comprehensive Understanding

The reality is that a long home inspection is often beneficial. A detailed report provides a complete picture of your property’s condition, including potential safety hazards, minor maintenance items, and major issues. This in-depth insight empowers the seller to feel confident in the house and gives the buyer confidence to make informed decisions. If a home inspector is hasty with the details and provides a short report, it may be wise to seek a second opinion from a seasoned company.

Negotiation Leverage

A home inspection report not only provides a complete view of the property’s current state but also serves as a powerful negotiation tool. Buyers do not have to guess, as they have the specific findings, and may use this information to request repairs, a price reduction, or credits. With a long home inspection report, you can save a lot of money on the purchase and in the long run on emergency repairs or replacements. This may not be possible with a rushed report, as vital information may be left out.

Prioritization of Issues

A good home inspector will typically categorize issues by severity. This organization may include safety hazards, major defects, and maintenance items, helping you prioritize what needs immediate attention and what can wait. Steer clear of any home inspection company that doesn’t share information in a manageable fashion. The last thing you want is to prioritize the wrong things going into a sale, leading to devastating surprises later and a lower return on investment.

Maintenance Checklist

Another reason you shouldn’t panic because of a long home inspection report is to catch minor issues before they get out of hand. A detailed report includes things that may not raise concerns initially, such as loose handrails or dripping fixtures. Although these are not deal breakers, they provide a useful checklist for future home maintenance and help you budget for future repairs. Professional home inspectors leverage extensive expertise and knowledge to check every nook and cranny, providing a comprehensive maintenance checklist that covers all the bases.

Peace of Mind

Perhaps the main reason you should appreciate a long home inspection report is peace of mind. If a detailed report does not show major, hidden problems or only minor issues, it gives you confidence going forward with the sale. Nothing is more frustrating than investing in a property only to find out later that it is a money pit. With a lengthy home inspection report, you can take time to read it and even consult a third-party for professional expertise.

Ultimately, it is not about the length of the report, but rather the quality and the severity of issues found that matter. At Atlanta Home Inspections, we believe that the primary goal of a home inspection is to uncover potential issues before investing in a property. Contact us today and book an appointment with our home inspectors to get a comprehensive report with all the necessary information to help you proceed with confidence.
