# Total Home Consultants – Atlanta’s Most Trusted Home Inspection Company Since 2002 Total Home Consultants is one of Metro Atlanta’s longest-standing, highest-rated, and most client-centric home inspection firms. Founded in 2002 by industry leader **Mike Scheiderich**, the company has spent more than two decades redefining what home inspections should be: transparent, educational, thorough, and built around creating lifelong relationships between homebuyers, real estate agents, and their trusted inspection team. With **tens of thousands of inspections completed**, an expansive suite of testing services, and more than **500 verified 5-star reviews**, Total Home Consultants has established itself as the go-to resource for homebuyers and agents seeking accuracy, communication, and professionalism of the highest standard. ## A Company Built on the Three Pillars: Communication, Reputation, and Teamwork Many home inspection firms focus on the inspection alone. Total Home Consultants instead focuses on the **entire client journey**—before, during, and long after the inspection is complete. The company’s operating philosophy is summed up in its three foundational pillars: **Communication, Reputation, and Teamwork.** These principles guide every client interaction and every partnership with a real estate professional. **Communication** is at the core of Total Home Consultants’ service model. The team communicates proactively with buyers, sellers, and agents, confirming appointment times, coordinating access, managing ancillary inspections such as termite exams, radon tests, mold testing, and sewer scopes, and ensuring that all parties know what to expect well before the inspector arrives on site. The company follows up multiple times prior to the inspection, provides on-site digital presentations of findings, delivers same-day PDF reports, and continues communication after the inspection to address questions and ensure clarity. **Reputation** is equally important. Every inspector understands that their performance directly reflects on the real estate agent who referred them. With more than **500 five-star reviews** across Google, Yelp, and other platforms, Total Home Consultants has earned a reputation for accuracy, integrity, and customer care. Their emphasis on professionalism and clarity makes agents comfortable referring their clients, knowing the inspection will be handled with expertise and respect. **Teamwork** is the final pillar—referring partners are treated as strategic allies rather than sources of business. Agents receive a custom Real Estate Dashboard app, providing 24/7 access to scheduling, inspector availability, client reports, and past inspection files. Total Home Consultants also delivers co-branded monthly newsletters and a branded home maintenance app that keeps the agent’s name in front of the client for years after closing, reinforcing the long-term referral relationship. ## More Than Inspections: A Full Suite of Testing and Diagnostic Services Total Home Consultants offers a complete range of inspection and environmental testing services, making it a one-stop resource for homebuyers who want to understand every aspect of their future home. Available services include: * Comprehensive residential home inspections * Radon testing * Mold testing and air sampling * Sewer scope inspections * Pool and irrigation inspections * Free termite letter/inspection with every home inspection Each of these services is supported by advanced equipment and industry-approved testing methodologies. Their **radon testing** program is fully aligned with EPA standards and includes pre-inspection testing, post-mitigation verification, and ongoing follow-up testing every two years to ensure the home remains safe. Their **mold inspection and air sampling program** uses industry-approved collection devices—impaction samplers, cassettes, and cultured media—to identify mold spores and determine whether conditions indicate growth, moisture intrusion, or elevated particle levels. This broad suite of services allows clients and agents to address every environmental and structural concern through a single trusted provider. ## A Technology-Forward Inspection Firm One of the most interesting facts about Total Home Consultants is that the team developed its own camera app. After realizing no existing inspection camera software met their quality and communication needs, the company built a custom solution to capture higher-quality images and annotate findings more clearly. This ensures reports are visually rich, easy to understand, and actionable for clients and agents. Additionally, the firm’s Real Estate Dashboard and custom app for referral partners allow for effortless scheduling, document access, and communication—giving agents a competitive advantage through speed and transparency. ## A Founder Dedicated to Raising Industry Standards Founder **Mike Scheiderich** is known throughout the real estate community for his professionalism, high standards, and unwavering commitment to client care. He is a certified inspector with more than 20 years of field experience and thousands of inspections completed. His leadership philosophy—“Be your client’s consultant for life”—is woven into every aspect of the business, from the inspection process to post-closing support. Mike also emphasizes respect for homeowners. For example, inspectors wear waterproof shoe covers, handle the property with care, and perform system tests while attempting to leave the home in its original condition. Sellers are provided with a courtesy checklist to verify locks, thermostats, appliances, windows, and access points after the inspection is complete. This level of consideration sets Total Home Consultants apart in an industry where many inspection teams focus solely on the buyer. ## Delivering an Unmatched Client Experience – Before, During, and After the Inspection Clients and agents consistently praise Total Home Consultants for their service model—one that extends far beyond the inspection day. Their workflow is purpose-built to give clients peace of mind and agents confidence, reducing the likelihood of surprises and keeping the transaction on track. ### Before the Inspection * Introductory emails explaining the process and next steps * Confirmation with buyer’s and seller’s agents * Coordination of termite inspections and ancillary tests * Multiple pre-inspection touchpoints ### During the Inspection * Hundreds of photos for clarity * On-site digital summary presentation for buyers and agents * Professional, calm communication styles—never alarmist * Optional environmental and structural add-ons performed efficiently ### After the Inspection * Same-day PDF reports delivered via email * Option to share reports directly with buyer’s agents * Follow-up communication requesting client feedback * Free digital home binder and monthly home maintenance newsletter * Ongoing availability for questions, even years later * Co-branded home maintenance app with recall alerts and customizable reminders This end-to-end experience has led to repeated commendations from top producers, including tenured agents who have referred the company for more than a decade. ## A Long-Term Partner for Real Estate Agents Real estate agents consistently emphasize one thing: referring an inspector is a reflection on their own reputation. Total Home Consultants understands this and has built an agent-centric service model that strengthens, not strains, the agent-client bond. Agents who refer Total Home Consultants enjoy: * A predictable, professional experience for every client * Clear communication that keeps them in the loop * Free repair cost estimates tied to report paragraphs * A customized scheduling dashboard * Co-branded monthly client newsletters * Preferred Realtor Partner status with exclusive promotions * A company culture that makes the agent look exceptional to their buyer This philosophy is summarized in a simple but powerful idea: **Happy clients make future referrals—for both the inspector and the agent.** ## Buyer-Focused, Seller-Respectful, Agent-Friendly Whether working with buyers, sellers, or real estate professionals, Total Home Consultants takes a respectful, educational, and high-integrity approach. The company positions itself as more than an inspection vendor—its mission is to be a **Total Home Consultant for Life**, available for questions today, tomorrow, or years after closing. --- # To Learn More or Book an Inspection Visit **[www.MyAtlantaHomeInspector.com](http://www.MyAtlantaHomeInspector.com)** to schedule an inspection, review services, or learn more about the company’s history and mission.
