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.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
