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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time  and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!

How Properties Get Rezoned?

There are many reasons to get a property rezoned. However, many homeowners don’t know much about the process and difficulties. So, to inform everyone, we gathered some information. Throughout this article, we will go through the steps of getting a property rezoned, like doing general research in the area, talking with the neighbors, submitting a request, meeting the necessary people, some difficulties that may come up, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

Do A General Research And Survey In Your Area

The first thing you should do when rezoning your property is make a general survey of your property and question the zoning rules. Do a survey to see if the city is experiencing large-scale growth. This will allow you to understand how the area is changing with time. In addition, the research should give you critical information about the rules in the area that are required to rezone. Not all the rules in states are the same, so it is crucial to follow these rules.

Talk With Your Neighbors and People Around

Talking with neighbors isn't required. However, doing so will allow you to discuss your intentions with your property. Most of the neighbors don’t agree with the idea of rezoning, but their objections can be overruled with the right legal procedures. So, to prevent this additional time-consuming step, talking with the neighbors and getting along with them is crucial.

Making Rezoning Requests

Now that you have gone over the previous sections, you must start the paperwork process. Meet with the officials and start discussing what you want with them. The authority will require many more things like land survey, maps, site plans, traffic studies, and the case. They might also require you to pay a sum.

Go Throughout the Necessary Meetings of the Planning Commission & Governing Body

After some time, the officials will make a planning review with you and give you an appointment with the planning commission and the governing body. With these meetings, you can address any concerns and put the rezoning to vote.

Understanding The Cost of Rezoning a Property

Rezoning comes with some drawbacks, too. The most common drawback is the cost of applying for rezoning. After filling out a very long form and waiting a long time for the petition to be accepted, you might be charged fifty cents per square foot. This rate can change for different states and cities.
