What should an agent do if a client is concerned about mold prior to making an offer on a property?

The best course of action when a client expresses concern about mold is to contact a mold professional. This is because a qualified mold inspector can assess the property accurately and provide an expert opinion on the mold situation. They possess specialized knowledge and tools that allow for thorough testing and evaluation of the extent of any mold issues present.

An agent’s role is to prioritize the client's safety and concerns by ensuring that they have access to accurate information from professionals. This not only helps in addressing the client's worries effectively but also protects the agent from potential liability should mold issues arise after the sale. Getting a professional opinion ensures that any findings are documented and can guide the buyer in making an informed decision regarding the property.
