Home Buying and Termite Inspections
The job of a Real Estate Agent is to not only find the perfect home for your client, but get them through the process in the most simplest, and stress free way possible. Which isn’t always easy! From the beginning till the VERY end there are many steps involved in the home buying process, many of which that should not be overlooked. One of those steps is getting a thorough Termite Inspection conducted on the property you're looking to purchase.
Don’t take a shortcut through the process that could leave you paying more in the long-run.
Getting a Termite Inspection done before the close of Escrow is not always required in the state of California, but it is highly recommended one be ordered by the buyers agent. As a home buyer you want to make sure that the property you are about to purchase is in good condition, and that means having a Termite Inspection Report completed. A Termite Report will state if there are any termite issues that need to be addressed, and corrected before closing on a home. This will help in the process of closing Escrow with seller. If there is a report done by a professional to reference to if there are repairs that need to be completed, you can ask for them to be completed in a contingency agreement. You very well could have them be paid for by the seller.
Having a Termite Inspection done prior to closing could work in your favor as the buyer so that you will not have to pay for the Termite Repair costs or Treatment.
