Termites? In Cary NC? Well…. Yes.
One home inspection that home buyers always have performed on a Cary home is to have a licensed pest firm check for termites. Termites are very common in the Cary area and a smart buyers agent will press the home buyer hard to have the property checked out during the due diligence period of the contract.
It is also common for a home owner to carry a termite protection contract, which usually includes a repair policy for any termite damage. If the home seller has carried such a plan, the seller should let the listing agent know, and that becomes a selling point in the listing. If the plan is transferable, it is even more affordable and valuable to the home buyer.
Some folks confuse a termite plan with quarterly pest service. Those are two very different services, even though they are offered by nearly all pest and termite control firms in the Triangle area.
