Homefinders.com are licensed real estate agents. We are not environmental hazard experts. However, we respect our home buyer's safety and health. Therefore, Homefinders.com agents do not sell homes with significant visible growths of mold.

Mold can be found in all areas in the Maryland and Virginia real estate market place. The two things that are necessary for mold to grow is moisture and a food source, cellulose, found in dry wall, or wood. Plumbing leaks can assist in the growth of mold behind walls, around laundry tubs, around leaking pipes behind walls and anywhere else where a source of food is moist or wet.

Most can be harmful to children and adults who are sensitive to the spores, showing problems with asthma or other lung problems. We believe it is possible to find a good home for our buyer clients without risking people to health hazards of mold.

In addition of the health hazards of living in a home with serious mold growths, there are very serious insurance risks of buying a home identified as having mold.

Homefinders.com will help you find another home.
