Mold and Real Estate: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

Mold in Real Estate Transactions

Finding mold during a home inspection doesn't have to kill a deal. But how you handle it makes all the difference. Whether you're buying or selling a home in Pittsburgh, understanding your options can save the transaction and protect everyone involved.

In Pennsylvania, sellers are required to disclose known material defects, including mold. Attempting to hide or cover up mold can result in legal liability after the sale.

For Sellers

• Address mold before listing whenever possible
• Get professional remediation with documentation
• Provide clearance testing results to buyers
• Disclose any history of water damage or mold
• Consider a pre-listing mold inspection

For Buyers

If mold is found during inspection, don't panic. Get a professional assessment of the scope and cost. Negotiate remediation as a condition of sale. Request clearance testing before closing.
