What is the name of your state? FL
Accepted offer on our house 2/28. Buyer had home inspection which indicated minor issues. Buyer suggested a reduction in sellling price in lieu of our making repairs. We agreed and signed an addendum to the contract reflecting the reduction. Buyer then had a different inspection company do a mold inspection - results showed low levels of strachy mold (non visible but in air). We had 2 engineers from our home owners insurance company take a look and they said that if the mold count is lower inside than outside, it's not an issue (ours was lower inside). Buyer wants remediation so we had an estimate - $11,000 - what a shock. The remediation company says the levels are so low they don't recommend doing it. Our realtor even called the CDC who confirmed that this mold is a nonissue. The inspector who did the mold test isn't in the local telelphone books under home or mold inspectors. I don't want to make anyone sick - I also don't want to be taken advantage of. Because the buyer was so quick to suggest a reduction in the price instead of repairs, I'm wondering if this is another tact to reduce the price further. Am I nuts or is something not quite right here? Appreciate any insight you may offer.
Thank you

RE Broker in Kansas:

Have a Mold Certified Inspector, one that is well known and respected in the industry, conduct an inspection, and write you a written report of the results, and if the results require additional services. The CDC should be able to provide a list of qualified inspectors in your area.

This should be sufficiant to any buyer, RE agents, as well as any type of litigation that may arise in the future**************.keep this report, or better yet, have the inspector have the report notorized and have it recorded at the court house.

If you already reduced the price in lieu of the initial inspection defects, and they want an additional reduction due to a "unqualified" mold inspector, have your RE Agent add your certified mold inspection report as your response to their reduction request.

If this doesn't work, then contact a REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY.
