Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some things you should know if, it been a while since you last bought or sold a home? (12)

Michael Petruccelli says; What will a termite inspection entail? This inspection will look for all wood-boring insects such as termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powder post beetles and old house borers. Many leading institutions require this inspection for the buyer’s closing. An inspector, certified or licensed as per state requirements will inspect for termites and other wood-destroying insects. Termites certifications are often requested of FHA/VA mortgages.
