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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
