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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
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!
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!
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!

Even though many of us are led to believe that home inspections are processes that have to be done before you buy a house. However, home inspections are more than that. You may decide to seek the help of home inspectors for many reasons: buying a house, selling a house, before seasons change, etc. Getting your home inspected before you put it up for listing is crucial. Selling a house itself is a very effort-requiring process, and naturally we wouldn’t want to be faced with any surprises. This is where the pre-listing inspection comes into place. You may get a comprehensive view of your home's condition before you even list it for sale, and depending on what the report shows, you can choose your next step.
Pre-listing inspections are pretty self-explanatory. A professional inspector inspects your house to see if there are any possible issues or repairs that need to be made before you formally list it for sale. Instead of facing surprises when the process is already advanced, you can take it as a chance to learn what the buyer could want and make arrangements before that.
Pre-listing inspections are actually great protective measures for the sellers. Getting a pre-inspection done has several advantages if you're preparing your home for sale.
Firstly, as we mentioned before, you’ll be dodging many bad surprises. Trying to make changes in the agreement after the contract is signed is a true nightmare, and we’re sure no one wants to learn if there’s a significant foundation problem. With this inspection, you’ll be able to identify possible issues with your house early on.
The inspection report will show you the areas of your home that need maintenance and repair. If problems are found during a buyer's inspection, the seller is legally exempt from having to make any repairs. However, repairing these problematic areas before you sell your house will really put you at an advantage when signing the contract and setting a price.
If your home turns out to be in great condition and if this is written in the report, your chances of selling your property are much higher. In a similar way, if an issue is discovered during the home inspection, the buyers will want a discount. However, if you already prove to others that your home is in outstanding shape and take care of problems early on, the price you set for the house will not be changing much.
If you have a professional home inspector check your house, you’ll be entering the market fully confident of what happens next. Depending on the result, you can either do some renovations and then sell, or depending on what you and the homebuyer prefer, you may set a new price or make a different agreement. Luckily for you, in this journey, professionals from Atlanta Property Inspection are here to help you. We are an ASHI certified home inspection company that are proud to offer you reliable home inspections any time you wish. Call us today and schedule your appointment.
