Should you inspect for termites before putting your Santa Clarita home up for sale?

YES! You should inspect for termites and dry rot damage before selling your Santa Clarita home. Sometimes termite damage and dry rot can be extensive and expensive! If you have slim margin with respect to your net proceeds (aka NOT much equity in your home), it’d be super important for you to know this sort of a potential cost upfront before listing your home on the market and finding a buyer. A seller doesn’t always have to pay for termite damage repairs, but it’s very common for the seller to in fact pay for it. So knowing that cost upfront can really help you determine how much money you’ll walk away with in a sale, before the “For Sale” sign is hanging in your front yard.
