Termite (wood-destroying insect) and moisture (wood-destroying organism) inspection requests aren't as simple as many make them out to be, but being more informed can be very advantageous.
Direct questions buyers and agents can ask the wood-destroying insect/moisture inspection companies if the buyer's agent representing you doesn't already know & if your buyer's agent can't fill in gaps (i.e. providing a camera on a pole like I have with a short/skinny termite/moisture inspector before, who didn't have the equipment necessary to inspect without cutting a hole in ductwork and repair the ductwork after the inspection):
Termite & Moisture?
Their Own Repairs?
What is the cost of the inspection?
Attics without floors policy (if applicable - Buyers)?
Availability
Gadgets (Buyers)
Inspector size (Buyers)
