Mold is always a hot button for buyers, sellers and real estate agents alike. Mold shouldn't be an issue that botches the sale of a home. An important item to note is that mold can be taken care of before or after closing. What we recommend is if an inspector detects mold in the home that the sellers ask for a free estimate to be completed.
We offer free mold estimates around the Bozeman area, and our technicians do a thorough job of inspecting the home to scope the entire area that is affected. Our company uses source removal so both the buyer and seller can be rest assured the mold is in fact gone. No bleach or white paint is used, that is known as masking and doesn't effectively take care of the problem.
Something to consider is why the mold is present and taking care of the source of the moisture so the mold doesn't return. Mold needs an environment with 3 things: Organic materials (this is it's food), a moisture content of 65% and higher, and a temperature between 60 and 90 degrees.
As far as completing the work:
It can be completed before the closing and the seller covers the cost OR
After closing and the home can be reduced by the estimate amount and the buyer covers the cost
The bottom line is mold can be taken care of so both parties are happy and the home can still be sold. Please give our office a call if you have a mold concern you would like an estimate on.
