There are several ways to approach selling a house with mold problems.

The Hard Way:

1. Search for a real estate agent who has experience selling properties with a current mold issue or a history of mold infestation. Complete the property disclosure identifying the mold problem.
2. Sign a listing contract and market the house. This process includes a parade of potential buyers coming through your house to discover the mold issue.
3. Negotiate with a buyer and sign a sales contract.
4. Open your house to property inspections, including additional inspections to assess the mold problem.
5. Renegotiate with the buyer over a list of other defective items found by the home inspector.
6. Wait for your buyer to qualify for a home mortgage, have an appraisal by the lender and then wait for final approval by a loan underwriter. The lender may have issues with mold, or prior mold infestation, and this may mean your buyer needs to shop for another lender. The same is true with the buyer’s hazard insurance coverage. Insurance companies avoid insuring houses with mold or prior mold conditions.
7. Close escrow. You’ll pay real estate commissions and closing costs during this step.

The Easy Way:

1. Contact us for a free, no-obligation, cash offer on your home.

3. If you agree to our offer, we’ll sign the sales contract and open escrow. We promise no more inspections, no appraisals, and no renegotiation of the sales price.
4. Buyer and seller sign closing documents, and we’re done. We even pay your closing costs! You can leave unwanted items behind! That’s it. Quick and easy!

Absolutely. Scranton law requires homeowners selling residential property to complete a property disclosure that must be given to all prospective buyers. A question on this disclosure form asks sellers about mold.

Owners failing to disclose mold or mold mitigation could face penalties should the new buyers file a legal complaint after they discover the failure to disclose.

Yes, selling a home in Scranton with any type of major mold remediation is difficult.

Most buyers aren’t interested in purchasing fixers, and homes with mold aren’t just fixers – they can pose a hazard to the new owner’s health. Most buyers avoid listed homes with mold – present or past condition

We aren’t most buyers. We buy houses that have undergone mold remediation and even that haven’t.

The answer to this question is, “Maybe.” The mold in your house garage in Scranton might have a public record for potential buyers to discover.

If your garage has ever been reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as a health hazard for mold infestation, then your garage will have a public record.

If you’ve hired a mold mitigation service that was required after receiving a government citation for a public health hazard in your garage, that also will be public record.

Generally, however, most houses with mold in a garage don’t have public records for that condition.

Mold in your garage will be on official record after any home inspector notes it on a report, and it will also be on the seller’s mandatory property disclosure.
