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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

The Pre-Listing Inspection – Know What You’ve Got Before You Sell

So, do you want to sell your property but want to ensure all the potential issues are addressed before it hits the market? Selling a property can be an exciting but stressful and time-consuming adventure. A seller needs to build trust with a buyer; a pre-listing inspection is a great way to do so. But what is a pre-listing inspection, and how can it help with the selling process? In this article, we will go over what a pre-listing inspection is, the systems covered in this service, and some benefits it provides. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.

What Is A Pre-Listing Inspection?

A pre-listing inspection is a service where professional home inspectors in Atlanta, GA examine your property to identify potential problems. By addressing these potential problems before a purchasing agreement is made, homeowners can learn what a buyer may request and make the necessary repairs to increase the value of their property.

What Gets Covered in A Pre-Listing Inspection

A pre-listing inspection covers a lot of areas. Inspections could cover different things depending on the property being inspected or a specific system. However, here is a typical list that most home inspection services go through:

  • Foundation: Your property's foundation is the structural base. A problem in the foundation can indicate a major issue that threatens its long-term safety and stability. Inspectors typically look for cracks, shifting, settling, or other potential structural issues.
  • Plumbing System: The inspection of a plumbing system includes the inspection of pipes, water heaters, toilets, and showers. Problems in these areas can lead to extensive water damage for the property owners in the future.
  • Electrical System: The electrical system is one of the most important systems in a property, as it can be life-threatening. Inspection of this system includes checking outlets, panels, wiring, and circuit breakers to ensure they all meet safety standards.
  • HVAC System: The HVAC system controls the property's climate and air quality. Inspecting these places is crucial to understanding that the system won’t cause major future issues for the following owners.
  • Windows & Doors: Windows and doors are also checked for proper sealing and operation, with no signs of damage or deterioration.
  • Asbestos and Other Toxic Paint: While not common in modern homes, older homes can have toxic materials like asbestos or lead-based paints. These can pose a health risk to the occupants and should be checked by professional home inspectors.

What Are the Benefits of Getting A Pre-Listing Inspection

By getting a pre-listing inspection, you can get a checklist of all the things you can fix to increase the value of your home. When you do, you will no longer have to worry about the time-consuming negotiations about your property. In addition, having a pre-listing inspection can make your home more attractive to potential buyers. Knowing the condition of your home is a great way to ensure that the buyers trust your property. If you want a home inspection, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.
