Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remediate mold before selling in CA?
No. You must disclose known mold in California, but you are not required to remediate it before selling. We buy as-is and handle all remediation after closing.
Can I sell a house with asbestos in Novato?
Yes. Asbestos is common in homes built before 1980, found in insulation, floor tiles, siding, and pipe wrapping. We buy homes with asbestos as-is. No abatement required on your part.
Is mold dangerous enough to make a house unsellable?
Not to us. Mold makes a house unsellable through traditional channels because lenders require remediation, but cash buyers like EasyOffer can purchase regardless of mold presence.
How much does mold remediation cost in Novato?
Mold remediation in California typically costs $2,000 to $30,000 depending on the extent and location of the mold. Selling to EasyOffer lets you avoid this cost entirely.
What if I am not sure whether my house has mold or asbestos?
We conduct our own assessment as part of our evaluation. If mold or asbestos is present, it factors into our offer but does not prevent us from buying.
Can mold come back after remediation?
Yes. If the underlying moisture source is not addressed, mold can return after remediation. This is one reason many homeowners prefer to sell as-is rather than investing in a fix that may not be permanent.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
