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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

What’s Behind the Decline of Affordable Housing in the U.S.?

The United States is facing an affordable housing crisis, affecting millions of Americans nationwide. With rising home prices and limited housing supply, many people's dream of homeownership is slipping away. This article will discover three key reasons affordable housing is declining and how homeowners can take precautions against this. If you want to learn more, contact Atlanta Property Inspections today.

What are the leading causes of the disappearance of affordable houses in the U.S.?

There is a rapid decline in affordable housing in the United States, which stems from many factors. The main reason is that developers are mainly focused on higher profit margins, leading them to build more luxury housing rather than housing for low and middle-income families. With the rise in demand in urban areas, wage stagnations, zoning laws, and construction costs, potential buyers are limited to the current supply in the market. So, potential buyers now have to work within tight budgets and ensure that they buy the house that will cause the least problems for them in the future.

Aging Homes in Low-Cost Housing

Many of the affordable houses mentioned above are aging and deferred from maintenance. Due to their age and lack of attention, these houses have many hidden issues, including problems with the electrical and plumbing system, pest infestations, and even structural weaknesses. All these factors result in potential buyers looking at better but more expensive options, which the developers focus even more on.

How Investor Purchases Change the Housing Market

There is also the factor of private equity firms and large real estate investors. These firms and individuals have increasingly bought affordable homes to convert them into rental units. This has resulted in prices driving up as the demand is increasing. This has resulted in bidding wars where homeowners want to acquire the affordable housing these firms want to turn rental units to. Despite the bidding wars, many skip the crucial step of home inspections.

The Importance of Home Inspections in this Housing Crisis

Affordable housing is becoming harder and harder to find. Homeowners looking for affordable housing must take fast steps but with caution. Home inspection in Alpharetta helps buyers assess whether an affordable house has any disguised problems. They allow homeowners to understand the house's condition and whether a home is affordable when factoring in needed repairs. It is no longer considered a luxury but a necessity. If you want to learn whether your potential new home meets the basic safety and quality standards in this rising, volatile market, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.
