Termites, Pests, and Other Inspections

 

 

 

Any links contained herein are for informational purposes only to get you started.  You still need to further research other resources on your own until you feel comfortable knowing all you need to know about each of these, and other, inspection issues so you can make informed decisions you feel are best for you and your situation.  Here are some links to get you started on your research.

 

Termites. Carpenter Ants, and Other Inspections

 

They are here, there, and virtually everywhere. We strongly encourage a pest inspection be done for all properties being sold. These are not welcome little creatures by any means.  The same goes for carpenter ants and all other such destroying, annoying insects.

Other Inspections

 

Here are other inspections some buyers have done.  Read about them and decide if you want any of these, or other, inspections done for any property you're considering buying. Some people feel very strongly about these issues and inspections while others feel the issues have  been exaggerated.  As with many things in life, you need to educate yourself on these issues then decide what you want to do for yourself.   This is a personal choice that you have to make because we have to let the sellers/sellers agent know your decisions at the time we present your offer to purchase.  

 

If you ask us, we advise clients to get these inspections done to be on the safe side and learn as much as possible about the property they want to buy.  Again, it's your choice which of these tests you want done.
