Pre-Inspections Before Listing If a Client is ready to sell, it is advisable to have a structural Pest Control Inspection (termite report) completed. This tells a Client in advance if they have dry rot, termites, beetles or fungus damage repairs to complete prior to sale. By knowing up front what expenses to anticipate they can avoid unpleasant surprises. Clients should call us for the name and number of our favorite inspectors. The costs of inspection typically range from $125-$150. In this area Sellers generally pay for the pest control report and having one in advance can speed the sale process quite a bit. If a property has a septic system, most lenders will require the system be pumped and certified prior to closing. Having this concern squared away in advance can ease a potential Buyer’s mind and can aid in smoothing the escrow process.
