No. We buy houses with mold in Clovis without requiring any inspection, testing, or remediation quote from you. If you already have a mold inspection report or remediation estimate, we'll review it as part of our offer analysis, but it's not required. We conduct our own post-offer assessment and factor remediation costs into the purchase price, so you avoid the $400–$800 inspection fee and the $3,000–$15,000 remediation expense entirely.

We purchase Clovis homes with any mold issue: attic mold from roof leaks, bathroom mold from ventilation failure, crawl space mold from groundwater intrusion, HVAC mold from condensation, or black mold in basements and behind walls. Severity doesn't disqualify your property. We've bought homes with isolated bathroom mold and homes with whole-house contamination requiring full gut renovation. If a traditional buyer won't touch it because of mold, we'll buy it as-is.

Our offer formula accounts for after-repair value (comparable sales in your Clovis neighborhood), estimated remediation cost (typically $3,000–$15,000 depending on contamination extent), necessary repairs beyond mold, and our acquisition margin. You receive a written offer breakdown showing each cost component, and we explain exactly how we arrived at the number. Most Clovis sellers find our offers are 75–85% of ARV for properties needing minor mold remediation, and 65–75% for properties requiring extensive environmental cleanup.

Yes. We buy houses with mold in Clovis even in negative equity situations, working with your lender to negotiate a short sale if our offer doesn't cover your mortgage balance. Short sales take longer than standard as-is purchases (typically 45–90 days for lender approval), but we handle all lender communication, submit the required financial hardship documentation, and manage the approval process. Many Clovis homeowners facing foreclosure due to deferred maintenance and mold damage use our short sale service to avoid foreclosure and credit damage.

No. Home Helpers covers all standard closing costs including title insurance, escrow fees, and recording charges, and we don't charge commissions, assignment fees, or transaction fees. The cash offer we present is the amount wired to you at closing, minus only your existing liens (mortgage payoff, property tax liens, HOA liens). Traditional MLS sales cost 6–8% in combined agent commissions and closing costs; our as-is purchase costs you 0%.

Our offers are binding as-is purchases. If additional mold is discovered between contract acceptance and closing, the offer price doesn't change. We're buying the property in its current condition with the understanding that unknown defects may exist, and we've priced the offer to account for that risk. You're not responsible for disclosing new issues that arise during our due diligence period, and we don't renegotiate or withdraw offers based on inspection findings.

Yes. As-is cash home sales are legal in New Mexico and governed by the same real estate contract law as traditional MLS transactions. Every sale closes through a licensed New Mexico title company, you receive title insurance, and the purchase agreement is a standard real estate contract reviewed by NM attorneys. The difference is speed and condition. We waive inspection and appraisal contingencies and buy in as-is condition, but the legal protections and closing process are identical to a traditional sale.
