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!
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!
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!
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.
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
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!
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 would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.
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!
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!

There are a lot of steps to becoming a home inspector, and some companies just make it more complicated to understand how to become one quickly. However, we are here for you. Throughout this article, we will go through all the steps required to become a professional home inspector, like knowing the state requirements, taking courses, entering the exam, choosing your path, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s get started on your incredible journey.
Every state has different requirements to become a home inspector. Before going to a random website and purchasing a course, we recommend you look at the license requirements for that state and plan your next steps according to this information.
After learning the state requirement, you have to buy a pre-licensing course if your state requires it. However, even if your state doesn’t need this course, taking a course like this will help you quickly pass the required licensing exam. There are many different types of inspections, so you must choose the right one that you want to master.
Again, most states require a test and usually use the National Home Inspection Exam. However, some states use their tests. So, you must look at what test your state gives you. The National Home Inspection Exam is usually a 4-hour, 200 multiple choice question test. There is an entry cost, and it differs in every state.
To come to this point, you must have passed the test and completed your state application if it is required. First of all, we want to congratulate you for coming this far. Now, you are officially a home inspector. You must now apply to work with firms, buy a home inspection franchise, or start your own company. It is up to you to decide what to do; however, we recommend that you work with an established firm first to get hands-on experience in this industry and then decide what to do after you know the work and how to interact with clients.
Many people want to get their house inspected but don’t know how much that will benefit them, what type of inspection they should get, and who to go to. Going through all this information will be hard and time-consuming for you, but you can get rid of all these procedures with a simple call. You heard that right! At Atlanta Property Inspection, we believe every minute of your life is valuable and make everything easier for you. With our efficient and valuable work, home inspection has never been easier. Contact us today to learn more about our services and factors to consider when choosing experienced home inspectors. What are you still waiting for? Call us now.
