Don’t Let Mold Keep You From Making a Sale

Mold growth is an issue that directly affects home sellers and real estate officers and agents. A mold issue can come up during a house inspection; then it’s on your shoulders to figure out what to do about it. Mold has recently—and rightly so—become a big concern for people looking to buy homes, particularly if they will be moving a family into that home. Mold carries with it serious health concerns, even for people who are not allergic, as well as concerns about the structural integrity of the home. Since mold feeds on all sorts of materials such as wood, gypsum, concrete and most other common building materials, it can be extremely widespread without being visible.

What to Do When a Home Inspection Reveals Mold

If a home inspection brings up a mold issue, you will have to work with the sellers to get the issue resolved. When you recommend that the sellers work with Porter’s Eco Care, you can be assured that the home will receive not only the best in mold remediation, but also a timely response so that they can get the home selling process moving along quickly again.

When you encourage your home sellers to choose Porters, you can also give them peace of mind that they will be able to prove to prospective owners that the mold is a problem of the past. Our thorough techniques will take care of all mold problems in the home, while helping to prevent future mold growth.

Additionally, we know that surfaces that have been painted over in traditional mold hot spots (such as attics and basements) seem suspicious to savvy potential buyers. Therefore, we make sure to remove not just the mold itself, but the stains left by mold by applying MMR, rather than painting or sandblasting.

With Porter’s Eco Care, potential buyers can be put at ease knowing that the mold problem has been completely eradicated, and you, as a realtor or home seller, can rest assured that a mold problem will not subtract from the value of the home you are selling.
