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.
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.
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!
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 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!
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!
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!
I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
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!

For those who are unacquainted, a final walkthrough and a professional inspection may seem like the same thing, but they serve very different purposes during the home buying or construction process. In this post, Atlanta Property Inspections sheds some light on the differences between a final walkthrough and a professional inspection.
A final walkthrough, as the name suggests, is an in-person visit to a home before closing. A homebuyer and their real estate agent carefully examine the property to ensure that agreed-upon repairs have been completed, no new damage has occurred since the home inspection, and the property is in the same condition as when the offer was made. In other words, it is the last chance for the buyer to look over the home before they sign closing documents. Typically, a final walkthrough happens 24 hours to 72 hours before the closing appointment and usually takes at least an hour to complete.
A professional home inspection is a detailed evaluation of the property performed by a licensed home inspector in Atlanta, GA. This inspection typically takes place shortly after the seller accepts the buyer’s offer and before the sale is finalized.
The purpose of the home inspection is to identify existing or potential issues with the home’s major systems and structural components. During the inspection, the inspector evaluates areas such as the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC equipment, insulation, windows, and appliances.
Home inspectors look for defects, safety concerns, water damage, code violations, and signs of wear that may not be visible during a standard property showing. Once the inspection is complete, the buyer receives a detailed report outlining the findings.
This report helps buyers make informed decisions about the purchase. In some cases, buyers may negotiate repairs, request credits, or even withdraw from the transaction if major problems are discovered.
The biggest difference between a professional inspection and a final walkthrough is their purpose. A professional inspection is investigative and focuses on identifying issues within the property. A final walkthrough is more of a confirmation step before closing.
A home inspection company uses specialized training and tools to evaluate the condition of the home. Buyers performing a walkthrough are mainly checking for obvious problems, incomplete repairs, or unexpected changes to the property.
A walkthrough should never replace a professional home inspection because most buyers do not have the technical expertise needed to identify hidden structural, electrical, or plumbing issues.
Both the professional inspection and final walkthrough play important roles in protecting the buyer’s investment. The inspection helps uncover problems early enough to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments, while the walkthrough helps ensure the seller fulfilled their obligations before closing.
For example, a home inspection may reveal a plumbing leak that the seller agrees to repair. During the final walkthrough, the buyer can verify that the repair was actually completed before signing the final paperwork. Without a walkthrough, buyers may discover problems only after moving into the property.
