There is absolutely no doubt that there are more houses on the market today and they are moving slower than ever. As a seller, you need to do everything you can to set your home apart from the rest. Create a competitive edge by having your home tested for moisture problems prior to listing.Set your Home Apart from the RestBy including a Certified Moisture Test Report along with your disclosure statement, you will establish an atmosphere of good faith that makes prospective buyers more comfortable dealing with you as a seller. Additionally, disclosing your property’s condition up front decreases the chance of surprises and increases your bargaining power. More and more buyers are demanding moisture inspections on prospective homes. Get it sold faster and closer to your asking price by having a Certified Moisture Test Report available to any potential buyer. What you Don’t Know can Impact the Sale of your HomeQuestions of moisture intrusions in your home will most likely surface at some point during the selling process. At CMT, we believe that it's best to discover and address any potential problems before you put your house up for sale. This allows you to evaluate, plan, and remediate the situation according to your schedule and budget, and may protect you, the seller, from a potentially expensive and lengthy lawsuit from a homebuyer. Certified Moisture Testing is committed to responding promptly to your inspection request, obtaining accurate test results and providing you with a comprehensive, easy-to-read report of the findings. Each report binder contains photographs of the tested areas and narrative about what was found. The Builder of your Home is Responsible for Moisture Damage Repair for 10 YearsMany states hold builders or their insurance company responsible for the remediation of damage to a home for 10 years. If the home you are selling is under 10 years of age, it is in your best interest to have it tested prior to putting it on the market. As the homeowner, you are in a better position to make a claim against the builder, should there be a problem. Buyers typically are not interested or willing to deal with YOUR builder if a moisture problem needs repair. Getting the home repaired, or at least having a commitment for repairs, will keep buyers interested in the home. Avoid slowing or stopping the selling process by having your home tested prior to listing. After Remediation: Certified Dry ProgramSMA home can be difficult to sell once it has been identified to have moisture problems. For this reason, Certified Moisture Testing offers the Certified Dry Program™ that aims to give prospective buyers confidence to buy homes with moisture problems. The program consists of having Certified Moisture Technicians monitor the remediation process before, during and after repairs to ensure proper resolution of the problems. Give your prospective buyers peace of mind by having your home classified as Certified Dry by Certified Moisture Testing.

“My home was listed for sale for ten months when I finally got an offer. The potential buyer insisted on a moisture inspection as part of the purchase agreement. Much to my dismay, Certified Moisture Testing found moisture damage on my home. Fortunately, my home was less than ten years old and was still warranted by the builder. During repairs, I hired Certified Moisture Testing to provide Certified Dry™ services. After the repairs were made, I listed the home and was able to sell it in one month! I know that would not have been possible without the Certified Dry certification by CMT.” ~ Home Seller
