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!

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.

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.

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.

When to Schedule a Home Inspection in the Buying Process

Buying a home is a big financial decision. So, you must know that the home you buy is in good condition and doesn’t have any hidden issues that you will uncover as the owner yourself. This is where home inspection plays a crucial role. A home inspection is a service that evaluates the overall condition of a property. However, many homeowners don’t know when to schedule such an essential service in the buying process. In this article, we will go over the importance of timing your home inspection and what you can do after. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.

Importance of Timing Your Home Inspection

Oftentimes, homeowners think that getting a home inspection is just a simple task that they have to cross off from their to-do list before purchasing a property. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case as time plays a crucial role in protecting your investment. The timing of your home inspection can help you negotiate more with the homeowner, have a different financing option from the bank, and ensure that the deal is agreed upon more smoothly. We all know the primary purpose of a home inspection: to evaluate a property’s condition. If you don’t know what the perfect time to get the inspection for the property is, then it is always recommended to get it as early as possible. By prioritizing early inspections, you get a better chance at addressing any problems with the house while the financial aspect is still being discussed at the table.

When to Schedule Your Home Inspection in the Buying Process

As you may have already understood from the previous section, one of the most significant factors in understanding how impactful a home inspection can be is the speed at which the seller or buyer wants to act. The ideal time for this would be as soon as the offer is accepted. In most purchase agreements, there is an inspection period, typically lasting seven to ten days, to evaluate the condition of the home and proceed accordingly. However, this time can be delayed due to the flexibility of the inspector’s schedule or the legal process in general. So, the earlier you schedule, the more control and knowledge you have about the property you will purchase. If you are looking to work with a home inspection company, call Atlanta Property Inspections.

What To Do After the Inspection

Getting an inspection is essential, but what’s more important is what the seller or buyer will do after getting a home inspection. Once the home inspectors finish the inspection, they will give a detailed report on the condition of the property. If you are a buyer and working with a real estate agent, we recommend that you go through the report with them. Some reports can be flooded with minor problems of the house that aren’t worthy enough to be dealbreakers, so working with a professional to go over the report will help you identify the significant issues. By identifying these major problems, you will be able to negotiate for any repairs or credits or walk away if you don’t want the possibility of dealing with those same problems as a homeowner in the future.
