Common Questions
How common are mold issues in real estate transactions?
Mold is discovered in a significant percentage of home inspections, especially in humid climates or older properties. However, most mold issues are fixable. Understanding mold basics helps you guide clients through these situations.
What are the disclosure requirements for mold?
Disclosure requirements vary by state. Most states require sellers to disclose known material defects, and mold typically qualifies. Check your state's specific requirements and consult with a real estate attorney for guidance.
How should I compare remediation bids?
Ask each bidder to use the same written boundaries and to separate moisture-source repair, investigation, material cleaning or removal, containment, disposal, reconstruction, contents, HVAC, documentation, and any post-work assessment. Our scope and bid planner helps organize questions; local written scopes and transaction-specific advice control the decision.
