Sellers should protect themselves from incompetent inspectors.
Sellers should request a "Certificate of Insurance" for MOLD liability with E&O from any inspector assessing the condition of their home for mold (mold inspection or mold testing).
Remember, after July 1, 2010, New Florida Law will require all mold inspectors to have:
"1468.8421 Insurance.--(1) A mold assessor shall maintain general liability and errors and omissions insurance coverage in an amount of not less than $1,000,000"
Insurance will be required for mold testing and / or mold inspections.
Insurance Companies only insure qualified professionals for mold assessment!
If they don't qualify for insurance, why would you let them inspect your home?
