A major concern that is getting a lot of media attention is mold. This is something that cannot be ignored. There are many different kinds of mold. Some mold is fairly benign and can be dealt with easily. Other forms of mold, such as black mold, are highly toxic and can be difficult to remove. Many states now have a disclosure requirement for mold much like a lead-based paint disclosure.
If the house has a mold problem, you should not ignore it or try to hide it. If a buyer finds out that you knew about a mold problem and failed to disclose it, you could have a serious liability issue. The best course of action is to have the mold removed by a company that specializes in mold remediation. After they have corrected the problem, they will issue a certificate that states that the house is free of mold. The cost of these services may not be cheap but they are nothing compared to the liability you could face by trying to hide the issue.
