We Know How Real Estate Timelines Work.

Most mold contractors aren’t built for real estate speed. They schedule weeks out, provide vague estimates, and don’t understand what lenders and attorneys actually need to close.

Mattra does. We’ve worked alongside buyers, sellers, realtors, and attorneys across Central Maine for decades. We know what an estimate needs to say for a price renegotiation. We know what lenders require for clearance. And we move fast enough to actually help.

Mold found during inspection doesn’t have to mean a dead deal.

Common Questions When Mold Is Found During Inspection

Not necessarily. In many cases, a written remediation estimate is enough to renegotiate the purchase price or get the seller to remediate before closing. The key is moving quickly. We provide same-week estimates that give buyers and sellers the information they need to make decisions.

Most conventional and FHA lenders require written clearance documentation showing that the mold has been remediated by a certified contractor and that post-remediation testing confirms safe air quality levels. We provide this documentation as a standard part of our process.

We prioritize real estate transactions because we understand the time pressure. In most cases, we can complete a site visit and provide a written estimate within 24–48 hours of your call.

This is a negotiation between buyer and seller, typically handled through the purchase agreement. Common outcomes include: the seller remediates before closing, the purchase price is reduced by the estimated remediation cost, or a credit is provided at closing. Your realtor and attorney can advise on the best approach for your transaction.

Attic mold is the most common finding during home inspections in Maine and is very treatable. We provide estimates that cover remediation and, when appropriate, the ventilation or insulation correction that caused the mold — so buyers and sellers understand the full scope.
