The Value of Drive-by Inspections

As property managers, we know that protecting your investment requires more than just collecting rent
and addressing immediate concerns. At Atlanta Marietta, we take a proactive approach to maintaining
and enhancing the value of your property. One of the ways we do this is through regular drive-by
inspections of the homes we manage.


During our drive-bys, we’re not just looking at the surface. We’re checking for early signs of wear and
tear that could lead to bigger, more expensive problems if left unattended. This includes things like
peeling paint, loose gutters, or overgrown landscaping. Addressing these issues early helps maintain the
property's curb appeal and ensures your home stands out as a desirable rental.


We’re also keeping an eye on potential safety concerns. For example, cracked sidewalks or leaning fences
can pose risks to tenants and visitors. By catching these issues early, we can recommend repairs or
preventative measures to avoid costly liabilities down the road.


During our drive-by inspections, our inspector conducts a thorough walk-around of the property,
capturing photos of all areas—both in good condition and those needing attention. These photos are
included in our detailed inspection report, covering everything visible from the ground, such as the lawn,
eaves, doorways, chimneys, and rooflines. Before sharing the report with you, we evaluate the findings,
recommend necessary repairs, and provide cost estimates to help you make informed decisions about
maintaining and protecting your investment.


Proactive maintenance isn’t just about avoiding problems—it’s about protecting your long-term
investment. When your property is well-maintained, it attracts quality tenants, reduces turnover, and
ensures steady rental income. That’s why our drive-bys are such an important part of our commitment
to you.


At Atlanta Marietta, we’re not just managing properties; we’re caring for them like they’re our own. If
