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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

What Should a Buyer Expect During a Home Inspection?

Before finalizing a purchase agreement, a house inspection is needed for future homebuyers. A comprehensive home inspection will yield valuable data and address the query of whether the price accurately represents the state of the house. A home inspection should be objective and fact-based.

Home Inspection Process

An essential stage in the home-buying process is a home inspection. The physical structure and systems of a home are inspected non-invasively by visual inspection. In the event that an inspection reveals issues, you can work with the seller to reduce the asking price or schedule repairs before closing. In the event that the house has a major issue and you are unable to come to an arrangement with the seller or negotiate a lower purchase price, you can even choose to call off the transaction.

The main elements of a home are covered in a home inspection. These can generally be divided into five groups that suit any type of house:

  • Siding, windows, doors, slope, drainage, and roof make up the exterior envelope.
  • Foundation- mainly the materials and overall condition. Also,  the methods used in framing.
  • Air conditioning, heating, and ventilation, system controls
  • Electrical fixtures, branch wiring, incoming service, main panel.
  • Plumbing- components and state

Your Work Counts as a Potential Homeowner

The inspector's observations inform every step of the inspection procedure. But this way of thinking needs to change. You should educate yourself about the procedure and your potential home as a prospective homeowner. It will be to your advantage to visit the property ahead of the inspection and allow yourself enough time to examine it. You can also create a buyer's checklist that includes inspecting the house's exterior features like the walls, roof, pool, yard, and garage, as well as its interior features like the general plumbing and electrical systems, the heating and cooling system, any appliances, the condition of the walls, the flooring, etc. This way, you can take note of the stuff that you may find questionable and then ask about it during the inspection.

Importance Of The Right Inspector

Some states need a license for home inspectors, but not all of them do. Wherever you choose to live, make sure the home inspector has the necessary credentials. You are welcome to view an example inspection. Reading online reviews is another great way to find out a lot about a house inspection. To obtain an unbiased assessment, be sure to read both the positive and bad reviews. You can also get a referral from someone you know.
