What a Delayed Report Costs You
When a termite report doesn’t come back on time, or comes back incomplete, everything downstream stalls. The closing gets pushed. Your buyers start asking questions. The listing agent starts calling you. And most of the time, the delay isn’t about the property. It’s about the pest control company. They overbook, they don’t return calls, and when the report finally shows up, you’re already scrambling to reschedule with the attorney’s office. Charlotte-area closings move fast, and you need a company that moves with them.
From Scheduling to Report in Hand
When a closing date is on the line, you need to know exactly how the process works and how long it takes.
Step 1: Schedule with your closing date in mind
Call or text with the property address and your target date. We’ll confirm availability and lock in the appointment. If the timeline is tight, tell us - we’ll work to accommodate it.
Step 2: Full property assessment
Our technician walks the property - foundation, crawl space, accessible wood structures, and any areas showing signs of wood-destroying insect activity. Everything the report requires gets covered, not just the surface-level walk-through.
Step 3: Report delivered on your timeline
You’ll have the completed CL-100 or NPMA-33 in hand within the same day of the assessment. Digital delivery, formatted, and ready for closing.
Why Realtors in Charlotte and Fort Mill Use Cornerstone
Your report arrives when your closing needs it.
We schedule around your closing date, not our convenience. If you need a same day turnaround, that’s what we plan for. You’ll know the delivery date before we set foot on the property.
One call or text gets it scheduled.
No phone tree. No portal. No waiting for a callback. Call or text, give us the address and your date, and it’s handled. You’ll get a confirmation and a reminder before the appointment.
If the report turns up activity, treatment is already lined up.
When wood-destroying insect activity shows up during the assessment, we can discuss treatment options immediately - bait stations, liquid treatment, or both - so the transaction doesn’t stall while everyone figures out next steps.
You talk to someone who understands what’s at stake.
Cornerstone’s owners also operate a top-10 Charlotte real estate brokerage with over 2,000 closings a year. When you call about a tight timeline, you’re not explaining why it matters. We already know.
Both CL-100 and NPMA-33 reports, one company.
Properties in South Carolina need a CL-100. Properties in North Carolina need an NPMA-33. We handle both, which means you don’t need a separate company on each side of the state line.
Schedule Your Report
What Happens Before, During, and After Your Service
Before
Call or text with the property address, your closing date, and any access details (lockbox code, listing agent contact, tenant coordination). We’ll confirm the appointment and send a reminder before the visit.
During
Our technician assesses the full property - foundation, crawl space, accessible wood framing, and any areas flagged for concern. If you or your buyer wants to be present, or coordinate access ahead of time, the assessment typically takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on property size and accessibility.
After
You’ll have the completed report, CL-100 for South Carolina properties or NPMA-33 for North Carolina properties, within the same day as the inspection. Delivered digitally, formatted for closing. If activity was found, we’ll include treatment recommendations and can schedule service on the same call.
Termite Report for Real Estate Professionals
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a CL-100 and an NPMA-33?
A CL-100 is South Carolina’s official wood-destroying organism report, required for most real estate transactions in the state. An NPMA-33 is the standard wood-destroying insect report used in North Carolina. If your property is in York County, Lancaster County, or elsewhere in SC, you need a CL-100. If it’s in Mecklenburg County, Union County, or elsewhere in NC, you need an NPMA-33. We handle both.
Can I schedule multiple properties at once?
Yes. If you have several closings in the pipeline, call or text, and we’ll set up all of them. We can handle volume without pushing your timelines back.
Do you handle treatment if the buyer wants a termite bond before closing?
Yes. We offer both bait station installation and liquid treatment. If the buyer or seller wants a termite bond set up as part of the transaction, we can coordinate that alongside the report.
Can you provide documentation for the closing attorney?
Yes. The report is formatted for closing and includes all required documentation. If the attorney’s office needs anything additional, they can reach us directly.
How fast can I get a report back?
Turnaround depends on scheduling availability and property size. In most cases, we can complete the assessment and deliver the report within the same day as your inspection. If your closing is coming up fast, let us know when you schedule, and we’ll work to meet your timeline.
What happens if termites or other wood-destroying insects are found?
The report will document the findings, including species, location, and extent of activity. We can discuss treatment options with you or directly with your buyer on the same call. Having the same company handle both the report and the treatment means one fewer vendor to coordinate.
Who pays for the report - buyer or seller?
That’s between the parties and their agents. We can invoice either side or send documentation directly to the closing attorney if that’s how your transaction is structured. Just let us know when you schedule.
Does someone need to be at the property?
Access to the property is required, especially the crawl space and interior if applicable. If the property is vacant with a lockbox, provide the code. If it’s occupied, coordinate access with the homeowner or tenant ahead of time.
