Max Shirley is an honest inspector who will not try to kill a contract by over empathizing normal wear and tear.
I've recommended him to all my clients for a decade and he's never missed a real defect. His rates are very reasonable for a top quality inspector!

Experience you can trust

Max Shirley Inspections · Serving the atlanta area since 2008

I’ve been performing home inspections professionally since 2008 and started my own inspection company in 2013. Over the years, I’ve inspected a wide range of property types and conditions, including homes evaluated for banks and large financial institutions. That breadth of experience has helped me develop a steady, practical approach and a clear sense of what truly matters during an inspection.

Before focusing full-time on inspections, I spent years working in the real estate and residential construction world in the Atlanta area, with a background in construction management and property evaluations. I take the time to explain my findings in plain language so buyers and agents can make informed decisions with confidence, without unnecessary stress.

"flexible and very hard working"

Max Shirley offers the ideal combination of tact and thoroughness that every home inspector needs! He gives a fantastic inspection report and will go into great detail to explain any problems or issues to a homebuyer. At the same time, Max is not an alarmist (unless it is truly called for). He just calls it like he sees it which is all anyone can ask of a home inspector.

Max has excellent people skills. He is flexible and very hard working. I am proud to say
that Max has been great for clients of mine! Thank you, Max!

"never too busy to answer questions"

I highly recommend Max Shirley as your preferred home inspector. He is knowledgeable in identifying and making recommendations regarding a home performance. He shares the same goal as buyers have in making the best financial decision regarding their housing needs. He loves educating the buyer on maintenancing and maintaining their after they move in. He is never too busy to answer questions and provide helpful resources. Max is a great trusted advisor in home inspections.

"a real pleasure to work with"

Max, it is a real pleasure to work with you. You're very professional and the inspection report is easy to read and understand. My buyers really appreciated all the time you spent with them and the care you gave. The best part was that you were able to do the septic inspection that we needed. We were afraid that we would have to go find anther person to handle that. All went well. Hope to see you soon on my next sale.

Maria Montoya

"a trusted and reliable home inspector"

Max is very thorough with his inspections and the report is very detailed. He is very people oriented and is always ready to answer any questions the buyer or agent have. It is clear that Max has a lot of experience in the real estate business. His price and service is the best I have experienced. I highly recommend Max to anyone who is looking for a trusted and reliable home inspector.
