I would either go to a low end realitor (we have them for 1.5% out here), or see a real estate attorney to make sure everything is done properly. The other thing that I would do is hire a reputable termite inspector. He'e not just looking for bugs. He is checking for dry rot etc... Its been a couple of years but if I remember right it will cost you about $150 - $300. A fraction of the cost to make a repair. Besides at least in California after the termite inspector certifys the place he buys all related repairs for the next either 6 months or one year.
I didn't trust the inspector the seller used (had some visable reasons to doubt them). So after I got the keys to the house I hired another inspector. It cost me something like $150. He found nearly $3,000 in damage the other company ignored. The other company had to fix them for free. So I put out about $150 and got nearly a $3,000 return.
