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.
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
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.
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!
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

For many people, buying their first homes is the biggest and most important investment of their lives. Naturally, for the first-time buyers, once they actually start to deal with all the processes of home buying, things can get overwhelming and confusing very quickly. The home inspection process is the biggest part of the home buying process, and once it’s complete, it’s very natural to wonder what’s going to happen after this. In this article we prepared some of the things you should expect after the inspection process.
After the inspection ends, you will receive a written report regarding the condition of the house with all the commentary and precise descriptions, as well as other documents, so you can thoroughly understand what’s going on with the house. The report will include the exteriors, interior rooms, different systems such as electric, plumbing, or septic, the yard, attic, and others. You can discuss any questions you may have regarding the condition of the property with your inspector. When you’re working with an experienced inspector, they can tell you which areas you need to be particularly concerned about and which ones need emergency repairs.
Remember, the home inspection report is the most important piece of negotiation device you will have. Since any kind of repair, especially emergency ones, means that there will be additional costs, what each party thinks should be clarified. If you are the homebuyer, you should first give a call to the service givers regarding specific parts of the house that need repair. For these, your inspector can guide you on finding the reliable firms. You should learn approximately how much these repairs would cost if they were to be fixed. Then you should prioritize which problems are absolute hazards that need immediate attention, which ones still need fixing but are not as urgent, and which ones are relatively minor.
After getting a clear financial picture of what the repairs would cost, it’s time to renegotiate the deal with the seller. So, you have a few options. First, you may want the seller to take care of the repairs that are mentioned in the inspection report. Second, you may ask for a decrease in the price of the property, as you’ll already need to deal with the repairs after the purchase. Third, you may want to split the cost of the repairs with the seller. Fourth, if after all the negotiations you still can’t find a way to compromise, you may decide to walk away from the deal, especially if the repairs are too complicated.
Contrary to the popular belief, things don’t just end after the home inspection process. The way steps are handled right after the inspection is the most important action you’ll take in the process. During this time frame, you can plan the future maintenance, rediscuss the deal, or start making a new budget. Working with a reliable home inspection company like Atlanta Property Inspections can make this whole process much easier. Our experts know all the aspects of this area and can help you make a wise investment. Call us today to start your homebuying journey strong with the most trustworthy inspection services in Atlanta.
