REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

WHY SHOULD YOU GET AN INSPECTION

Annually, countless homes and businesses across San Diego County, Riverside, and Orange County fall victim to termite damage. When investing in a new home, it's imperative to enlist the expertise of a licensed termite control inspector. These professionals are rigorously trained to spot even the most subtle indications of termite damage and provide comprehensive reports of their findings, ensuring that you make an informed decision when it comes to your property investment.

WHO INITIATES THE INSPECTIONS: SELLER OR BUYER

In California, the process of selecting a termite inspection company often falls under the purview of the seller or their real estate agent. This practice is designed to provide a level of transparency and consistency in real estate transactions. It ensures that the seller, who is typically more familiar with the property, can choose a reputable termite control company that they trust to conduct a thorough inspection.

As a buyer, you can anticipate that the seller or their real estate agent will keep you informed throughout this process. They should promptly share the details of the selected termite control company that will be responsible for carrying out the inspection. This information is crucial as it allows you to be aware of who will be assessing the property's termite situation and, more importantly, ensures that you have access to the inspection report and its findings.

Having this transparency in the selection of the termite inspection company helps foster trust and collaboration between both parties involved in the real estate transaction. It also allows buyers to have confidence in the professionalism and objectivity of the inspection process, ultimately contributing to a smoother and more informed property transaction.

WHAT DOES THE INSPECTION INVOLVE?

A skilled representative from the licensed local termite inspection company will conduct a thorough examination, focusing on all readily accessible and visible areas of the structure. In the event that the inspector discovers any indications of a termite infestation, these findings will be meticulously documented on a designated report. Additionally, the inspection may encompass specialized techniques such as sounding or probing in areas where there is suspicion of termite activity, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of the property's termite health.
