FHA Loans & Home Inspections
FHA Loans are popular again!
Today, Home Inspectors are required to be structural Pest Inspectors.
A Structural Pest Inspector identifies wood destroying organisms, insects, rot or conducive conditions.
If your client has an FHA / VA loan, be sure to tell your home inspector at the beginning of the inspection. Most FHA / VA loans require a final pest inspection prior to closing.
To find out if your home inspector is licensed and has followed the requirments of being a WSDA Structural Pest Inspector, go to:

This link will take you to a Structural Pest Inspector licensing search.
On Friday march 21st, Governor Gregoire signed Senate Bill 6606 into law requiring the licensing of Home Inspectors in Washington State.
Effective September 1st 2009, Home Inspectors are required to be licensed in the State of Washington.
However, according to the new license laws a home inspector is not required to be a licensed structural pest inspector after that date (9-1-09).
