If a listing has a note that says buyer/agent must sign mold liability releasebefore entering the home, am I right to assume that mold has already been found in the home? I'm hoping it's just a precaution because the listing is excellent. I do believe it's a foreclosure. Thanks!
Re: Mold liability release
I think the rules on this will vary by state. I did know the rules for my state, but if you had a certain amount of mold and remediated it, you had x years where you would have to disclose it when you sell.
I would assume that there is either active mold or recently remediated mold in the house. If you are seriously interested, please make sure you call an independent mold inspector to test and ask the sellers for the company who remediated the mold.
Mold is one of those things you don't want to mess around with and needs to be handled professionally as it can regrow, could be behind drywall, in studs, in insulation, in ductwork, etc.
