It is probably a good idea to include a termite and pest inspection as part of your Jacksonville Florida real estate offer. There are companies that inspect not only for termite damage and pest infestations, but also inspects for dry rot and water damage, among other things. The company used is important to you as the buyer because you want to make sure they do a high-quality job. The seller should be concerned because it is customary that they pay for the inspection and some types of repairs that may be necessary. If you don’t select a company and list it in your offer, the seller has free reign to choose. Your Jacksonville Florida realtor can make an excellent recommendation if you are unsure.
