Most of the time home buyers start their conversation off on the phone with us like this “I’m buying a new home, how much does a home inspection cost?”

All to often I want to tell them that their first concern should not be about how much it cost, but about how much it can cost them if they end up hiring “Cheap Charlie.”  I know that there are several home inspectors out there lowering their prices to all most nothing, and while we have run specials and deals, I am proud to say that even when a deal was going on our average home inspection still took four to five hours.  We never make you stand around and wait at the house for your home inspection report.  We go over the major items with you and point them out if you haven’t attended the home inspection and then we upload the report later on.  This is after we have time to go over and make sure their are no errors.  Time is valuable and you don’t have time to be standing around waiting on the home inspection report.

But back to Cheap Charlie, here recently I have heard stories from real estate agents that tell me their client had a home inspector there and he was there for two hours and really didn’t find a lot.  Is this what you want, or do you want someone who is going to be thorough, giving you the ultimate negotiating power and keeping you from buying the money pit! Don’t assume that the home you are thinking of buying is in good condition.  Even new homes have issues, just ask me and I’ll be glad to tell you the different items I have found on brand new homes.

Your agent can recommend someone, but the choice is yours, “Cheap Charlie” or “Thorough David” you decide.  If you want a thorough North Georgia home inspection for a reasonable price call us today at 404-788-2581, you’ll be glad you did.

Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak provides Atlanta home inspections and he often runs across some things that are quite humorous. During this Atlanta home inspection David runs across Bubba the plumber and his use of duck tape, you know the old saying if it can’t be fixed with duck tape it can’t be fixed. Well so often it can’t be fixed. lol This home inspection item will definately be written up on the home inspection report for the potential home buyers. 
So heres the video and if you want a thourough and quality home inspection give us a call at 404-788-2581.  There is a lot of people out there every day that don’t realize that they need a home inspection done on even the old homes let alone on the new ones.  Don’t let this be you. 

Atlanta home inspector, David Lelak shares home maintenance tips and issues.  In the following video he talks about the need to have gutters cleaned and gutter guards installed on the gutters.  So often gutter gaurds could prevent you form having to dig up the entire drainage system that is attached to down spots. 

Ok, I know what you’re thinking but I’m serious, there was several of us walking away with some out of the box ideas on how to use different Realtor tools.  And it’s Free right now, how long it will be going on, I don’t know, but just like I learned today the hard way “YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE!”  Don’t miss out on this.  Get to class and get the help you need.  I have been attending the Women’s Council of Realtors Cherokee Chapter sponsored tech events lately.  Yesterday I was able to go to an FMLS, GMLS and Realist.com  class and was amazed at the tips, tricks and information that was shared with everyone.  There was about eight to ten of us there and we really got some great information.  Some really missed out.  Everyone left feeling like they had been given some gold nuggets and they said “We’re coming back for more!”    Now this is the cool part is these labs are hands on type training.  Bring your laptop and you’re sitting there working on whatever you need to be working on whether it be blogging, social networking, creating special reports in FMLS, learning new tips and setting up your profile on GMLS Pro, and should you run into a problem you have someone there to answer your questions.

The cost of a home inspection from a certified Georgia home inspector is very small when compared to the potential cost of troubles a simple home inspection might uncover.   I often find different items on almost every roof that I walk, most of the time it is not a big issue, but sometimes the entire roof may need replaced.  I also check in the attic, because one of the things that I have found is, if the roof has been leaking then you can have damage to the roof flooring, the insulation and the ceilings of the home.  I don’t know if you have checked the prices on a new roof or even roof repairs lately, but I just had mine replaced and it ran nearly $15,000. That’s a pretty big price to pay out simply because you didn’t get the house checked out. Before you agree to purchase your next home do yourself a great big favor and order a home inspection by a certified Atlanta home inspector. You will be glad you did in the long run.

 We also provide roof inspections for those who have just had roofing contractors come out and replace or repair their roof.  When we provide this service, we walk every area of the roof and the last roof inspection we provided we had over 60 pictures of items on a brand new roof. 

As an Atlanta home inspector I try and get testimonials from my Atlanta home inspection clients.  I really like to do home inspections for the first time home buyer.  I not only go over different things that is wrong, but I enjoy going over the different items and maintenance issues that a new home owner will have.  I love taking the time to go over different questions that a new home owner has. 

Below is a testimonial from a first time home buyer, I hope you enjoy it.

While surfing around I ran across this picture by my good friend Kevin Corsa and thought I would share it with you. 

How’s that for a set of steps leading to no where.  

I just wanted to take the time to tell everyone “Happy New Year” and may you be blessed in the upcoming year.  My family and I spent a great deal of the holiday time with our family and we feel very thankful that we have both our parents so close by.  I always try an look back over the last year and really reflect on what I am grateful about.  I’ve got a loving wife, two great kids, I’m healthy, I own my own business and I was able to stay busy, I have great friends from church and other places.  I am a very blessed man.
