Hi Morris,

With Termites, if you were to buy the home, I would treat the problem ASAP
so they don't continue doing damage. Always use a licensed professional
for all such work.
When a buyer would consider buying your house in the future, they would
most likely have their own termite inspection, and the results may be a
factor in the pricing of the home. So in regards to your potential
purchase, get a termite inspection, and find out what kind of costs are
involved for repiars and use that in your decision making.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance to you in the Bay Area with your
Real Estate or Home Loan needs.

Best Regards,
