A mold finding doesn’t have to kill a real estate transaction. Mattra provides same-week estimates, certified remediation, and lender-ready clearance documentation — fast enough to keep your closing on track.
When a home inspection turns up mold, the clock starts ticking. Buyers need cost estimates to renegotiate or request repairs. Sellers need to remediate quickly to keep the deal alive. Lenders need clearance documentation before they’ll fund. We move fast on all three.
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.

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.

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.
