How many times have I taken a buyer into a home, it fits them... Right price point, right location and it has all everything that want but we go into the basement and their noses start twitching? Dampness raises so many concerns for buyers, even on a home that they may otherwise love. 'If your basement has a damp, musty odor, it is probably a breeding ground for mold.' Home buying is stressful and it is my job to educate my buyers & sellers so that the Right Home doesn't get away from them for the Wrong Reason.
"Mold spores are notorious for causing reactions such as wheezing, stuffy or runny noses, itchy and watery eyes, rashes or hives, and even asthma attacks. Because these invisible spores, or seeds, can catch convective drafts and begin new colonies elsewhere in the home, remediation and prevention should be your first order of business."
