Not knowing isn&#8217;t an excuse nor is knowing about it and not informing the buyer. In either situation, you&#8217;ll most likely find yourself facing a lawsuit from the new buyer.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid this costly mistake, have the home inspected, and if necessary, get a NJ mold treatment to remove the problem. Document everything you&#8217;ve had done to resolve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue is when an inspector finds mold, you probably won&#8217;t get your asking price, or the buyer will move on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buyers and Mold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the market to buy a home, one thing to ask is if the home has had mold and\/or if it&#8217;s been inspected for mold. Either way, you&#8217;ll need to ask to see the documents proving the steps taken to remove it.<\/p>\n<p>If the seller can&#8217;t produce any documentation the home is free and clear of mold, you may need to consider other homes.<\/p>\n<p>At Stern Mold, we offer a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/free-mold-treatment-quote.php\">free inspection<\/a>, which allows our NJ mold treatment specialist to determine the source of the problem and then discuss the options available for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/mold-treatment-remediation.php\">mold treatment<\/a>.
