Home Buying and Selling Overview

While in the process of a real estate transaction, most people find themselves overwhelmed with a list of things to tackle before the ink is dry on the settlement papers. One item during the transaction that has been known to cause a great deal of anxiety, in both sellers and buyers, is the Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) Inspection, commonly known as the termite inspection, when a potential problem can surface. In fact, many homeowners don't even know they have a termite problem until it's discovered during the inspection. This shouldn't be the case.

With an investment in an effective, premium termite treatment, home sellers can take termites off the settlement table once and for all. Whether there is a current infestation that must be immediately remedied, or simply the ever-present threat of future termite infestation and the resulting damage, more and more homeowners are considering professional termite treatments to avoid issues during the sale.

Home buyers should go into the home inspection with a basic knowledge of termite treatment options to ensure that the best termite control program is chosen should a problem be discovered.
