DOES MY CLIENT NEED A PEST INSPECTION?

All VA, FHA, USDA loans require a pest inspection. If it is not stated on the contract on a Conventional loan, it is not required but is recommended.

Pest inspections cost between $75 - $120 and seem to be remembered last minute, these actually need to be done early in the process. You never know when you may need to execute repairs!
