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!

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!

Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

The Pros and Cons of Virtual Home Inspections

Virtual home inspections involve evaluating a property remotely through video calls or recorded walkthroughs. Due to technological advancements, virtual inspections have become increasingly popular. Neither the home inspector nor the homeowner has to be on-site to evaluate the property's condition. However, this comes with many advantages and disadvantages. To help you understand the pros and cons of virtual inspections, we have prepared this guide for you. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.

Pros of Virtual Home Inspections

  1. Convenient: One of the most significant advantages of virtual home inspection is its convenience. Many homeowners schedule an appointment with an inspector and can wait long before meeting with them. In addition, the home inspector may not be available to travel to multiple homes that a potential buyer may want to be checked. With the virtual inspection option, real estate agents can travel to different houses and explore different rooms while connecting with an inspector and the buyers on an online platform.
  2. Fast: With a virtual inspection, inspectors can quickly evaluate the houses in better condition and notify the new homeowners about their observations. This will allow the new homeowners to quickly narrow down their options and consider the advantages and disadvantages of a house from the comfort of their couch.
  3. Flexibility: Lastly, virtual inspections are a great solution to the problem of new homeowners being forced to take time from their work schedules and weekends to travel around different home options. With a virtual inspection, you can save time and evaluate each property during your busy schedule.

Cons of Virtual Home Inspections

  1. Fewer Interactions: One of the biggest cons of virtual inspections is the lack of interactions. In a typical home inspection, potential homeowners get the chance to ask the inspector any questions they may have during the process to learn more about the house's condition. However, limited interactions can make it difficult for the potential homeowner to assess the property's condition.
  2. Inaccurate Conclusions: Sometimes, virtual tours can lead to inaccurate conclusions. They may misrepresent the property with edited photos and videos, which the potential buyer may fall for. To avoid this, it's a good idea to do in-person visits after narrowing down online options.
  3. Technological Limitations: While using technology may bring many benefits, there may also be certain limitations. A simple issue with the internet connection or speed can result in bad image quality shown to the home inspectors, which may decrease the inspector's ability to detect minor problems. In addition, some properties may not be equipped to have imaging capabilities.
