Real Estate Professionals

BioTek Environmental Inc., has created a program that will help you to mitigate your mold related liability while providing your clients with a valuable service. As you know, the presence of mold and the effect it has on indoor air quality can drastically reduce the value of a home, and if not noticed or disclosed during the sales process, can create significant liability for the real estate professional homeowners. We believe the real estate professional that has a clear understanding of how to recognize the signs of a potential mold problem and who knows how to approach the problem can avoid or efficiently resolve situations that would otherwise delay closings or create future liability.

Consider the following suggestions as ways to protect yourself and your clients:

1. Become informed and proactive. Take time to learn about mold, its symptoms, causes and potential implications in a property transfer.
2. Implement a mold inspection protocol when you are looking at a home to list or when representing a buyer.
3. Do not ignore the signs of mold — old water leaks, cracked shower tile, landscaping issues, musty odor, irritation to your eyes or throat, etc.
4. Consult a professional mold inspector whenever you suspect the presence of mold.
5. Obtain a mold clearance letter from a reputable inspector on all property transfers. Especially if you are the buyers agent, you should consider requiring a “mold clearance” on any property that your clients consider purchasing.

We recognize that closing the sale, on time, is critical to you and to your clients, and we will act quickly to help you meet your deadlines. Our objectives are always to limit your liability, address any concerns that arise in a professional manner and help you to expedite the transfer of property.
