A home that’s had water in the basement, mold or other similar problems might sit for quite a while on Huntington Beach real estate market, unless you can sell it to a real estate investor.
If your home has had mold or water in the basement, mildew or other types of water damage, it will be at a disadvantage on the real estate market. These are the kind of problems that linger in a home, and potential buyers might be concerned about hidden damage, or regrowth of black mold in a house for sale.
When you’re ready to list the home, a realtor you enlist to help you sell it will normally expect you to first take care of repairs and remediation. To prevent the regrowth of mildew or mold, you will need to repair your HVAC insulation and probably even to install a whole home dehumidifier.
All of those measures still might not prevent interested parties from being turned off by the history of the home because of the fear that the problems could potentially return. A property with a serious repair history can sit on the market for more than a year.
To sell a home in the traditional way after it’s been water damaged or had mold growth will cost you plenty, but there is an alternative to doing it that way. Instead of spending your time and money on making the repairs and investing in the improvements needed to prevent future problems, you could sell your property AS IS to a real estate investor.

Do you have any idea how long it typically takes to sell a house? If you have a property broker or a real estate agent list it on the traditional real estate market, closing the sale on even an immaculate home can take several months.
Issues such as flooding, water damage, water in the basement or black mold in a house for sale, even after remediation measures have been taken, can scare off many buyers. As a result, it can take up to a year or even more before the home is sold.

It doesn’t matter to us if your home has had water in the basement from natural flooding or decrepit plumbing, water damage from a leaky roof, or if it has a mildew or mold problem.

Selling a house is never a simple matter. Selling your home gets a lot more complicated when it’s a house that has been seriously flooded, that has water damage from leaking pipes, a wet basement, or a mold or mildew problem.
You can go two ways: the fast and easy way or the long and hard way.
The latter is the more traditional way – you will need to invest in making repairs to the home and in some cases even installing HVAC upgrades intended to prevent further damage to the home, such as adding a humidifier and fixing insulation to prevent any regrowth of mold or mildew. Only then can you have a realtor list the house while you wait and hope for a buyer.
The fast and easy way, in contrast, would have you selling your home to a company that buys houses As Is. You can sell your home in its current bad condition to a real estate investor just like that, quick and easy.
It’s generally the responsibility of the buyer to identify any problems in a home for sale in California. However, there are limits, and the seller does have a responsibility to be up-front about problems in the house.
Black mold in a house for sale, water damage to the walls, floors, or ceilings are among the defects that the seller is required to disclose about a home in California. Other elements of the home required to be included in the disclosure which can be affected by mold and water damage include the plumbing and ventilation systems as well as the roof and foundation.
The seller is compelled to disclose any such issues known to exist, and can be held liable for up to 3 years after the sale if the buyer discovers, as an example, a leaky basement that was not disclosed.
