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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Should You Get a Home Inspection Before Listing?

Listing a home is a big financial decision that most homeowners make for their house. First impressions can impact how efficiently and successfully a property sells. Most sellers avoid inspections to avoid the hidden issues that are unnoticed by the homeowner. However, understanding how to use a home inspection to a seller’s advantage will not only reduce stress but also increase the overall property value and make the selling process smoother. In this article, we explore what a home inspection is and whether you should consider one before listing your home. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.

What Is A Pre-Listing Home Inspection?

A pre-listing home inspection is the assessment of a home’s condition with professional home inspectors in Atlanta, GA before listing a house for sale. A pre-listing inspection is different from a buyer’s inspection plan, which mainly serves the buyer to check the condition of the house to ensure there are no major problems in the key areas of the house that go unnoticed, like the roof, electrical system, plumbing system, HVAC, foundation, and many more. So, overall, the goal is to detect any unnoticed defects that can impact the sale and negotiation stages for the homeowner in the future.

The Benefits of Getting a Home Inspection Before Listing

There are two types of home inspections: one made for the buyer and the other for the seller. The buyer’s inspection is to see if there are major problems in the house before making the purchase of a property and maybe use any minor issues as a way to negotiate with the homeowner. As for a seller’s inspection, homeowners can identify any issues early and address repairs on their own timeline. Not only does it give the seller control of the state of the purchase, but it also reduces the risk of any last-minute negotiations or delays when forming a deal. With an inspection report from a trusted home inspection company, sellers can also be transparent with the results and build trust with the buyer. With the trust, you will have fewer negotiations and an increased buyer's confidence.

Common Problems Seen in Home Inspections

An inspection service looks at a variety of places in a house. However, a typical company offers to look at roofs, foundation cracks, electrical panels, plumbing leaks, signs of water damage, and the efficiency of the HVAC system. While minor issues with these systems are not dealbreakers, they can surely influence the buyer’s confidence, expectations, and tendency to negotiate. Identifying the common problems seen in home inspections and fixing them early on can allow sellers to speed up the process of selling.

Can an Inspection Affect the Price and Speed of a Sale?

A home inspection can affect the price and the speed of a sale. When the seller is transparent with the inspection report and identifies and addresses any issues upfront, they can price their home more accurately and confidently. Buyers who are aware of the situation of the house would have more confidence in purchasing a property with an inspection and repairs accordingly than those who are not disclosing inspection findings.
