I concur that termite cert is not required unless specifically requested by buyer – this is one of the many check boxes on the offer to purchase form – do most buyers check this box and require the cert? – does the typical agent recommend that a buyer require a cert? – seems to me that an agent exposes themselves to additional liability by allowing an inexperienced buyer to buy something ‘as is’ – of course ‘inexperienced’ is a judgment call – if I were an agent in the deal my disclosures would state that I had advised my client against purchasing the property without a termite cert (which might be part of why I’m not an agent)
