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’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 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!

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!

What Happens After the Home Inspection? Here’s What to Expect

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.

Analyze The Inspection Report

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.

Learn About The 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. 

Final Options

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.

Plan Your Future

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.
