Goadson Malou

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdowns, economic relief measures, and low interest rates around 2.85%. This created a hot sellers' market, attracting many buyers, including cash buyers from out of state. However, even in this competitive environment, unforeseen events could impact sales. In August 2020, Goadson worked with a buyer, Smith, who struggled to find a home. Despite offering above asking price, many sellers chose higher cash offers. One day, they visited a home in West Boynton Beach, where a water leak had damaged the kitchen cabinets and living room floors. The seller had already filed an insurance claim, and restoration teams were on-site drying the property. The agents and seller were unsure how this would affect the sale. Smith liked the house but feared mold from the water damage. Goadson conducted his own moisture inspection and reassured Smith, noting the seller had stopped the leak and begun drying the property. He coordinated with the listing agent and the restoration team to inspect the cabinets properly, saving the kitchen and allowing the seller to offer a credit for repairs. All parties were satisfied, and the deal moved forward. In October 2024, Goadson met Smith again, who expressed his gratitude, highlighting the positive impact of Goadson's expertise. Goadson holds dual Bachelor's degrees in Business Management and Accounting from UTESA, two Master's degrees in Business Management (Formato Educativo and Cadiz University, Spain) and Heritage & Tourism (State University of Haiti and Laval University, Canada). With over seven years in real estate, he is a successful agent in the area. He is also a licensed Mold Assessor and Remediator, IICRC-certified Water Mitigation Technician, and a licensed Life and Health Insurance agent in Florida. His expertise in property restoration sets him apart, offering invaluable advice to clients dealing with water damage or mold issues, which often cause deals to fall through.
