Deal with Mold Removal Before Listing Your Home

It may be nearly impossible to sell your home when there's any signs of mold. That means not just the visual presence of mold, but also the telltale lingering odor that's often present. The problem is that you might not even understand that your house has mold. You may have become"nose blind" to the odors having been around it as it gradually grew into existence within an unseen portion of your home -- behind a wall, in the attic, or in the crawlspace. Waiting till a buyer's home inspector discovers that it really isn't the best plan for managing mold. You should seek mold removal before you list your home. Here is why:

Stigmatism -- Once it's known in the real estate business that your house has had mold removal, it can be difficult to get beyond the stigmatism. Do not think for a moment that realtors don't talk about these items at their networking events, especially if the mold was extensive.
Missing Buyer -- Most buyers under contract will probably walk away from a home if mold is found. Though mold removal leaves the problem moot, once the idea is not there, their confidence from the house is shaken, often irreparably. At the very least, you can expect them to ask for a much lower selling price that goes beyond the price of the mold removal.
Missing Time -- Between shedding a buyer and the problem of getting realtors to wish to show buyers your home, you may lose considerable time. If you're attempting to get moved for a job opportunity or any other time-sensitive situation, this could very well be the time you can't afford to lose. We advocate having your home inspected prior to listing, so we are able to look after mold removal fast and professionally if needed.
