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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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.
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.
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.

Being a home inspector comes with good income, flexible hours, and job stability. Inspectors continue to stay in demand since their presence is required with every house bought and sold. While it is true that there are certain requirements to be a home inspector, you also need to have certain skills besides all the certifications and licenses. In this article, we will go over some of the skills that you will need to become a house inspector.
Home inspectors are responsible for evaluating the condition, safety, and worth of homes and other residential assets. They typically examine a home's foundation, systems, walls, doors, roof, windows, and pretty much any part of the house you can think of. As a result of these evaluations, home inspectors write long reports with detailed descriptions and images of any problems they found during inspections. Then, they send these reports to customers who want to sell or buy a house.
As a home inspector, it is essential for you to know every system and part of a house. Mainly because of this, being familiar with aspects of construction is very important for your home inspection training. Although it is not a requirement, if you have worked in or were involved in an aspect of construction before, you will most likely advance far more quickly in your employment compared to others.
In this competition, you will stay ahead if you keep up with the latest tools and technology. If you are caught up with the latest technological tools, you can identify problems that you can’t see normally. For example, you can use a gas detector to detect the presence of flammable or toxic gases.
Of course, in order to practice home inspection in most states, you should obtain a license. There’s no national standard for certification. You should have the proper education about electrical, heating, and air conditioning systems, plumbing, foundations, flooring, insulation, ventilation, external systems, and roofing.
As a home inspector, your job is to convey the findings of your examination to the buyer or the seller in an appropriate manner. Because of this, effective communication skills are essential. It is true that there are many templates for these reports nowadays but still, it is best for you to use your own style when you are talking about the problems and your recommendations. Instead of simply reading from a template, the client would want true guidance from the home inspector since the process is a big event for them.
Time management is also a very valuable skill for a home inspector. You should plan and structure your examination from traveling to the house to effective communication with your client. You will have many things to take care of. Therefore, time management will maximize your efficiency.
