Filed in Mold(CBS13) ORANGEVALE, Calif. An Orangevale woman thought she’d made all the right moves in California’s scary real estate market. But when her home began to leak water, sprout mold, drain her bank account and her health, she called Kurtis Ming.
Kim Snowden has put a lot more than flowers and landscaping into her two-story town home.
“Thousands and thousands, probably a good $45,000,” she says.
But this was not supposed to be a fixer-upper.
“It’s kind of like, a really bad nightmare, that we can’t wake up from,” says Snowden.
Everything seemed to be going right for Kim and roommate, Jesse Purcell, when Kim bought a 2-bedroom home a year-and-a-half ago. It was a place the two athletes could park their bikes, rackets and boogie boards.
“I remember my realtor calling me and saying, oh, the inspection report is just glowing,” says Kim.
Kim says it took only a couple of months for that glow to dim.
