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, 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.

The inspector Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic.  When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions.  We were unaware of this problem.  Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements.  For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.

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.

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!

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!

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 You Should Get Inspected Before Listing Your Property for Sale

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.

What Are Pre-Listing Inspections?

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.

Benefits of Pre-listing Inspections

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.

Avoid Surprises

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.

Make Repairs Beforehand

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.

Increased Demand and Prices

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.

Reliable Home Inspection Services

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.
