Termite damage can turn a routine home sale into a longer project. A clear look at the infestation, structural condition, and selling options can help homeowners decide what makes sense.
Get a Qualified Inspection
A licensed pest professional can determine whether termites are active and identify the affected areas. If damage may involve framing or other structural components, a qualified contractor or engineer can help define the repair scope.
Separate Treatment From Repairs
Stopping an active infestation and repairing damaged wood are different jobs. Ask for written estimates that explain treatment, follow-up coverage, opening walls, replacing materials, and restoring finished surfaces.
Gather Previous Records
Collect past inspection reports, treatment certificates, warranties, and repair invoices. Organized records can help a buyer understand what has already been addressed and what may remain.
Plan for Buyer Questions
Known termite history may affect inspections, negotiations, insurance, or financing. Sellers should understand their disclosure obligations and compare the likely timeline and net proceeds of repairing first versus selling as-is.
Compare an As-Is Cash Sale
An as-is cash buyer may be able to evaluate the property without requiring the seller to coordinate treatment and construction. Compare the offer, contingencies, proof of funds, closing schedule, and convenience with other options.
