Recently, I went into a few Oceanside homes with obvious mold conditions: garage wall covered in mold due to a water heater leak; mold under the kitchen sink due to a dishwasher line leak; mold in the fridge due to the electricity being turned off and the fridge not emptied nor cleaned...etc

A few times I have feared for my own health, but more than that, if I am entering a property with a buyer, I certainly don't want to compromise their health.

I think listing agents, out of at least courtesy but also to reduce their liability somewhat, should be required to add comments in the confidential (agent-only) remarks section when possible health or safety issues are present.

So in addition to mold, it would be nice to know about dogs that bite, rodent or insect infestation, questionable structural integrity, exposed live wires or nails, etc.

Do you think this is a good idea, and what would you like to see added to the list?
