Pest Inspections are in my view point, as a Sacramento Realtor ® a very important inspection that a home buyer should have done. Whether the home seller pays or doesn’t pay, a home buyer should opt to have a Pest Inspection.
Many times I often hear Sacramento homeowners and Sacramento home buyers as well as Sacramento home sellers say, “what is a Pest Inspection?” or they think a pest inspection is for mice, rats or bugs of some sort.
Take a look at a Pest Inspection by Twin Termite Company, hear and see what a Pest Inspection consists of. Then, you will know why it is so important to have a Pest Inspection especially with all the distressed properties for sale from homeowners who did not have the funds to maintain their homes properly.
During the inspection period, a Sacramento home buyer decided to pay for a pest inspection on the bank owned, foreclosed home she was buying. During the pest inspection, $3440.00 was found of damage. Along with the Pest Inspection, the Sacramento home buyer also had a home inspection the same day and found that there may be some money involved in taking care of the A/C unit.
This Sacramento home buyer asked the bank to pay a portion of the pest damage along with paying for the A/C to be repaired. Unfortunately, the bank did not wish to address this matter up front so the buyer cancelled her contract and will not be buying this house.
Sellers do not have to make repairs but home buyers do not have to buy!

Hi, I read your post about pest inspection and wanted to mention that I and have been trying to get the word out. If possible I would like to discuss helping me out with a link to our new site.
Kim,
It’s important to never include a link until such time as the recipent agrees to allow a link to be placed. I removed your link and after checking out your website, I found that Sacramento is not even on your list so I don’t see any benefit.
I wish you the best.
It has almost always been my opinion that it was the lack of government over sight of the mortgage/banking industry that caused the problem. For those that are calling for the breakup of fanny/Freddy, I think you are miss guided. Both Wall Street and the GSI’s were greedy, nothing more. Wall st via fees and the GSI’s via yield. Both have strong lobbyist arms which have deep and troubling influence. The public was, at the highest levels of government and wall st miss lead. This is not giving the public a pass on being stupid, but the piper played and everyone went along. You will never have a strong consumer advocate government while you have over whelming corporate lobbyist influence over our elected officials. To those of you who still subscribe to laissez-faire capitalism, until you control greed and ignorance, you will continue to doom us to these cycles of boom and bust. Ayn Rands mind set will continue to fail.It is a mess no doubt and with any luck our current government will make good decisions to do the “right” thing and teach people how to fish again so we can get out of this mess!!! They no doubt will hold the largest influence in the solution as it continues to unfold. I know one thing is for certain and that is to get informed and VOTE!!
