Guidelines for ordering Termite (WDI) Inspections
Please notify us as soon as you become aware of the need for an inspection. We want to make ordering and dealing with Wood Destroying Insect Inspections as easy as possible for you, so we have provided this form to help you get all the information we need to take your order.
A “Payment Guarantee” is a statement by the Realtor or the realtor’s agents that they will see that we get paid even if the deal falls through. If earnest money is not available you may not want to guarantee payment because sometimes deals do fall through and you will be left holding the bill. This is the most common choice by realtors because it’s easier. Should we not get paid at time of closing, the responsible party is the person who made the “Payment Guarantee” and the bill is due and payable immediately. The person who placed the order for the inspection is usually the person who makes the “Payment Guarantee”. We will schedule an inspection no more than 30 days from closing if the inspection is to be paid at closing. We will not accept a "Payment Guarantee" from or charge inspections to your client.
A “Prepaid” inspection is one in which the service is paid for before the inspection report is released. This may be necessary where you are not willing to guarantee payment or because no earnest money is available. We accept cash, check, money order and credit cards. We can schedule a “Prepaid” inspection as early as 90 days before closing. If you have early inspection due dates or if you expect an extended closing, a “Prepaid” inspection may allow you more flexibility. You may mail a check with the form or fax the form and have the client call us with a credit card or mail a check. Back to form
The inspection report and invoice
With a “Payment Guarantee” the inspection report with invoice is given directly to the title company. This way we can help insure payment from the title company. A “Prepaid” Inspection Report will be delivered to the person or agent of the person who paid for the report. If additional copies are needed we will gladly furnish them.
Things to remember
If payment is to be made at closing, please let us know if the title company gets changed after the inspection, so we can send a duplicate invoice. This has been a source of problems in the past with lost paperwork.
During warmer months we need more time to schedule inspections as scheduling becomes more hectic. Allow a week or two and sometimes (rarely) even three during the busy season.
The Scope and Limitations of the Inspection (found on the back of the inspection report) are extremely important and should always be given along with the front side of the report. Failure to include this in copied or faxed reports could make you liable.
The report shall be considered invalid for purposes of securing a mortgage and/or settlement of property transfer if not used within ninety (90) days from the date of inspection. This shall not be construed as a 90-day warranty. There is no warranty, express or implied, related to the report unless disclosed as required by state regulations or a written warranty or service agreement is attached.
