An agent is listing a property and notices a small patch of black mold in a corner of the basement. The seller claims it's 'just a little mildew' from a humid summer.
What is the agent's professional responsibility?
- Tell the buyer that all basements have some mold and it is not a material concern.
- Disclose the presence of the mold and suggest that the buyer have a professional mold inspection.
- Accept the seller's explanation and list the property without mentioning the mold.
- Wipe the mold away with bleach before the first showing to avoid alarming potential buyers.
