HOMEOWNER'S TIPS:

IMPORTANT HOME INSPECTION TIPS!
In general, homeowners should order a home inspection soon after the purchase offer has been accepted. Real estate contracts typically allow a limited number of days to complete a home inspection and to request repairs, if applicable. Discover more tips in this months' article. 

ONIONS - PEELING BACK THE LAYERS OF DECEPTIVE TERMITE INSPECTIONS.
Some states allow Home Inspectors to identify and report on wood destroying organisms if the inspector is properly certified/licensed. Other states, such as California, do not allow Home Inspectors to do so unless that inspector is also licensed as a Structural Pest Inspector, of which there are very few. But, if the inspector is properly licensed, then the reporting will be done on a report form mandated by the Structural Pest Control Board located in Sacramento, and the reporting process falls under a whole slew of regulations administered by the Structural Pest Control Board. This practice is unfortunate as that process breeds, in California anyway, a huge conflict of interest situation that revolves around the home sale/purchase activity. Now you're ready to peel off the first layer of the onion.

This has caused some outrage by the depositors and the concern of key members of Congress.
