Mold Inspections for Real Estate Agents & Brokers
Fast, neutral, Florida-licensed mold assessments scheduled around your inspection period, with reports buyers and sellers can both accept.
A mold question surfaces during the inspection period and suddenly a clean Central Florida transaction has a problem nobody can size. The buyer is nervous, the seller feels accused, and the clock on the contingency keeps running. What both sides need is the same thing: a neutral, licensed assessor who can say exactly what is there, what is causing it, and what it will take to fix.
UES has served Orlando, Lake County and the rest of Central Florida since 2000. We are Florida DBPR licensed mold assessors, we never remediate, and we take no referral fees from contractors, so our report has no stake in the outcome. We show up fast, test properly and deliver findings both sides can read without a translator.
What realtors are up against
The inspection window is short
A home inspector flags possible microbial growth late in a short inspection period and you need a licensed assessment, lab results and a protocol before the contingency expires.
Vague findings kill deals
A photo of a stain and a recommendation to consult a specialist leaves both parties guessing at cost. Without a scope, the buyer assumes the worst and the seller refuses to credit anything.
Nobody trusts the other side's expert
A remediation company that inspects for free and then bids the work is not neutral, and the opposing agent knows it. Findings from an assessment-only firm hold up on both sides of the table.
Post-remediation disputes
The seller's contractor says the work is done. The buyer wants proof. Without independent clearance testing, the argument restarts at the final walkthrough.
How UES helps
- Priority scheduling for active transactions across Orlando, Leesburg, Clermont, The Villages and the greater Central Florida market.
- Limited assessments targeted to the area the home inspector flagged, or full-property assessments when the buyer wants the whole house evaluated.
- Air and surface sampling sent under chain of custody to an independent accredited lab, with moisture mapping and thermal imaging to identify the source.
- A written remediation protocol that any licensed remediator can bid, so repair credits are based on a real scope instead of a guess.
- Post-remediation verification before closing, confirming the work was completed and the area has returned to normal fungal ecology.
What you receive
- Written assessment report with photographs, moisture readings and thermal images
- Independent laboratory results for every air and surface sample
- Digital remediation protocol with a defined scope of work for contractor bids
- UES Client Portal access that can be shared with the cooperating agent, buyer or seller
- Post-remediation verification (clearance) letter when the work is complete
Working inside the inspection period
Timing is the whole game in a resale transaction. When you call UES, tell us the contingency deadline and we will schedule around it. A typical limited assessment is completed on site in a single visit, and lab turnaround is built into the timeline we give you up front, so you know when results will land before you commit to the appointment.
We also know what a transaction report has to do. It has to be specific enough that a remediator can price it, clear enough that a buyer can understand it, and neutral enough that a listing agent will accept it. Our protocols describe the affected materials, the containment and removal steps, and the moisture correction required, which turns a frightening unknown into a line item that can be negotiated.
Representing the buyer or the seller
If you represent the buyer, a UES assessment gives your client a defensible basis for a repair request, a credit or a walk-away decision. Because we do not sell remediation, nobody can argue the findings were inflated to generate work.
If you represent the seller, a pre-listing assessment removes the surprise. Addressing a small moisture issue before the home hits the market is almost always less costly than negotiating it under deadline pressure, and a clean report with lab data is a strong answer to a nervous buyer. When a buyer's inspector raises a concern, a seller-ordered UES assessment can also serve as a credible second opinion.
In either role, the UES Client Portal lets your client share the findings and the protocol with the other side in one step, so both parties negotiate from the same document.
Closing with confidence: post-remediation verification
Remediation completed by the seller's contractor is only finished when someone independent proves it. UES returns after the work, inspects the containment area, collects air and surface samples and compares them to the pre-remediation baseline and outdoor controls. When the data supports clearance, we issue a verification letter the buyer, the lender and the title company can rely on.
For agents, PRV is what ends the conversation. It replaces a contractor's word with documented, lab-verified results, and it protects you from the phone call six months after closing. Schedule the verification visit as soon as the remediator gives you a completion date so the results arrive before the closing table, and share the letter with the cooperating agent through the UES Client Portal.
Questions from realtors
How quickly can UES inspect a home under contract in Orlando?
Call (407) 438-4684 and tell us your inspection deadline. We prioritize active transactions across Central Florida and will give you a realistic timeline for the site visit and lab results before you book.
Can the buyer and seller both use the same UES report?
Yes. Because UES assesses only and never remediates, our findings are neutral. Either party may order the assessment, and with the client's permission the report and protocol can be shared through the UES Client Portal so everyone works from the same facts.
What does a mold assessment include for a real estate transaction?
A forensic visual inspection, moisture readings and thermal imaging, air and surface samples analyzed by an independent accredited laboratory, and a written report. When growth is confirmed, a remediation protocol defines the scope for contractor bids.
Does a mold finding mean the deal is dead?
Rarely. Most mold issues in Central Florida homes trace to a correctable moisture source such as a plumbing leak, condensation or a roof penetration. A defined protocol lets the parties negotiate a credit or a completed repair and move toward closing.
Does UES recommend remediation companies?
We provide a curated list of licensed Florida remediators with a record of following protocols in the UES Client Portal. We accept no referral fees from any of them, and clients may use any licensed contractor.

What our clients say
“The owner and her team are incredibly thorough. They spent hours in my home and shared what they were doing along the way. UES goes way beyond what I expected, providing an education along with a comprehensive analysis. A multipage report along with recommendations was professionally presented and staff was available to answer all of my questions. I have complete faith in UES's procedures and findings and highly recommend them with no reservations.”
“No home owner wants to hear the word "mold", but if you do, you need the best to support you through the journey. Ultimate Environmental Solutions (UES) is the best. Initially, I didn't know where to turn and UES was highly recommended to me by a friend. The owner and her team walked me through every step and created a plan of action. They were kind, responsive, professional, but most of all knowledgeable. The thorough protocol report they provided was a valuable asset in claiming mold and water damage compensation from my insurance company. Do not cut corners when it comes to mold. The owner is an expert in her field. She is my trusted ally and truly went above and beyond.”
“If you are wondering who to trust with the health and safety of your family, look no further than UES Ultimate Environmental Solutions, Inc. The owner came out to our home and put my mind and wallet to ease. She was transparent, authentic, and professional. She truly cared about my family and our needs, including financial and wellbeing. It's hard to trust anyone anymore. I promise you; you can trust UES. Once you meet her, you'll immediately know why I felt compelled to leave this review as soon as she left my home. Thank you for UES.”
“Ultimate Environmental Solutions provided the environmental testing during a remediation project due to hurricane damage to one of my commercial office building. I found UES to be very professional and easy to work with. I will definitely reach out to them should the need arise.”
“My experience with UES was wonderful. The inspector was friendly, professional and thorough. The office staff was very competent and helpful. The mold specialists spent a great deal of time with me on the phone assessing my needs and guiding me to the type of inspection that was right for me, and she was very careful and thorough in explaining to me the results of the lab results. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone searching for mold inspections.”
“Unbelievable customer service and professional knowledge even to non-customer!!! Right off the bat, the owner knew her FL company couldn't help my out-of-state situation; yet she spent her time offering me direction, tips, pointers, pointing me to national testing lab and national organizations which may be able to provide environmental test kit and consultants in my state to help me with the vapor invasion situation at my town home. She even helped me understand a bit on everything from typical airflow of building, firewall building code, construction layout of high density residence... The information she gave me will save me hours of researching. A true rarity.”
“Prompt, thorough and efficient. Did an in-depth survey and report of findings, after our recent fire. Not someone I want to see, again, LOL. But, would highly recommend their services.”
“The UES team were honest, thorough and experts in their forensic analysis of my home environmental inspection. I highly recommend them for anyone concerned with potential mold issues in their home.”
“The owner and her team were very thorough and very knowledgeable. We've been dealing with them for a couple years now. Look no further for mold experts.”
“I highly recommend this company. I used their services on two separate occasions. The owner is awesome. The report was very comprehensive but she still took the time to review it with me by phone to ensure I had all the necessary information. The team are experts in what they do. I found them to be very knowledgeable, punctual and pleasant to work with.”
