Long story short, no. But it is a significant risk to you and could cost you a lot of money down the line. “The key difference between a pre-listing inspection and a typical home inspection is who’s paying for it. If you’re selling your home and you’d like to do a pre-listing inspection, you’ll be footing the bill for it.

Mold can sometimes be hard to spot, that’s why it’s good to know the warning signs. Odors, physical reactions (coughing, congestion, sneezing, etc.), visible spores, moisture, and living in a region predisposed to mold growth are indicators that your home may be at risk.

A professional home inspection is an examination and objective assessment of the current condition of a house. A home inspector will not pass or fail a house, but rather describe its physical condition and indicate what components and systems may need major repair or replacement. A home inspection is not an appraisal and will not determine the home’s market value. It is also not a municipal inspection and does not verify local code compliance.
