inspection, and either one of you may make the phone call.
You will need to be home for the inspection. If you cannot be there, your agent may be able to help coordinate the inspection on your behalf. When you call to make the inspection appointment, be sure to inform the inspector that the purpose of the inspection is for a real estate sale.
10. Pest Inspection Results:
The termite company will either give you the written report at the time of inspection, or they may deliver or mail it to you or your agent. It is very important that your agent get the original inspection report as soon as possible. If you ordered the report yourself, please advise your agent by whom and when the inspection is being performed, so your agent can follow up on the paperwork. Copies must be faxed or delivered to all parties concerned, including the lender, closing agent, and the buyer or buyer’s agent. Negative Reports: Occasionally a negative report is received indicating that a termite infestation has been found, or worse than that, a wood-boring beetle infestation. Your contract may cover only certain types of pests. If you have a subterranean termite infestation, then a ground treatment is done which might involve boring holes in the slab. If you have a dry wood or boring beetle infestation, then your home may have to be tented. This can run over $1,000.
