Waiting To Fix A Mold and Moisture Problem Can Cost You The Sale and Much More!

Selling a home in today's market is a challenge. As the inventory of available homes increases, sellers face increasing competition, requiring higher standards for maximum home sale price. An increasing number of buyers are employing home inspectors to look for things like radon and other health hazards. Homes FOR SALE that are infected with MOLD contamination face special challenges in today's housing market. In such cases, mold remediation can make the difference between a quick sale and a frustrating wait for a buyer.

Homes that pass IAQ MOLD TESTS can be advertised as such, raising buyers' confidence that your home is the right home to buy!

Unfortunately, homeowners are usually unaware of a mold problem until a home MOLD inspection is conducted at the time of the sale. If you have any suspicion of a mold problem or moisture breach, contact us right away for in home or on-site inspection. It can save you time and potentially thousands of dollars!

• 1. Any sign or smell of mold and mildew in a home or commercial property for SALE can be a huge turn off to a potential buyer. Many buyers will not give your HOME FOR SALE or property a second look if they detect or suspect a potential mold problem.

  2. If you receive a contract on your home and mold is subsequently discovered by the buyer (through an inspection or environmental test) many buyers will back out of the deal… even if you promise to remediate the mold. Who wants to buy a property or move into a new home with mold, even if it’s gone? Also, some people are so sensitive to mold they can’t take the chance.

  3. If you receive a contract and have an established closing date on your home or property, any mold remediation must be conducted under a time restraint. This limits you to using firms that can meet your schedule, narrowing down your options. Call us at Home Enviro and we will do our best to meet your deadlines.

Important note: Make sure that you are comparing “apples to apples” in the proposals you receive. Confirm that no steps are being skipped to reduce the bid price. In the end, it could cost you more than you save!
