Water quality is a top concern for buyers and sellers in real estate. Variables for water quality such as microbiological contamination, common water quality problems, aging water systems etc. play an important role in whether or not a real estate deal can be closed. Your role as a real estate agent is to know the facts of residential water testing for you to be able to guide the clients in the process. Hence, water quality should not be taken for granted to avoid legal loopholes and possible issues during the sale.
