Escrow & Real Estate

Are Termite Inspections Required as Part of the Escrow Process?
The state of California requires a termite report as part of the escrow process when a property is refinanced or sold. Prospective buyers need to know that their new home or business is free of costly termite damage and financial institutions need to assess significant damage risk factors that may complicate the refinancing process until the problem is addressed. Thus, an inspection from a certified termite control expert is required to move the sale or refinancing process forward.

We’ll provide you with thorough reports that take note of all termite damage and outline potential problem areas within the structure.

When a Property in Escrow Needs to Be Inspected for Termites, Who Pays?
As a property is still the responsibility of the original owner until escrow closes, it is the seller who needs to pay for any inspections or treatments required. This includes the inspection mandated by the state of California. If you’re a buyer with concerns about a potential pest problem in a property you’re interested in, or if you’re a seller who wants their property certified as termite-free, your realtor can help you arrange for an inspection and make sure that it’s accepted by the proper authorities and paid for properly.
Should You Inspect for Termites Before You Put Your Property On the Market?
If you’re seriously considering putting your property on the market, getting it inspected for termites now can save you a lot of time and effort later in the process. However, you will need to make sure that the inspection is conducted properly, by inspectors who are certified to perform the kind of inspection that the state requires for real estate transactions. You’ll also need to make sure that the inspector provides you with a detailed report and assessment that can be provided to a realtor when requested. Choosing the right inspector is an essential part of this process – a good termite inspector will walk you through the process and make sure you have everything you need to prove that your property is termite-free when the time comes to put it on the market.
