ParticipantI would not ask the seller to remedy anything until I had it inspected with an inspector of my choosing. One my inspector did it, and gave me a report, then I would select the contractor to remediate and the negotiate with the seller to pay for it.

ParticipantFor a few hundred bucks it is a no brainer, go ahead and get the mold inspection. Do not use any company that does mold remediation, use a company that only inspects. The basic inspection should use infrared and perform moisture testing. They should also take ambient and local spore samples. To be very thorough you would want them to drill into the areas to take samples as well but this is destructive and may not be permitted by the sellers as you will need permission from them.
If you are spending several hundreds of thousands of dollars don’t quibble over a few hundred.

Participantuneven again that is up to you.
Rebates can be a little trickier with a new home. Most people think that an agent earns a coop commission for a new home. In reality what most developers do is award a referral to an agent who registers a buyer who buys a new home. However with that referral fee are tighter restrictions that the referral that goes to the agent must not be distributed to the buyer. So generally the rebate back to the buyer on a new home is done outside or after escrow. Expect to be 1099’d on that income. However it is still pretty nice money right? Are you gonna turn down 10k for instance if I tell you I have to 1099 you at the end of the year? Heck no.
Anyways you may ask what good is the agent if I already have a new home picked out… well that is a good question. Perhaps not much. However if you go to the sales office and say give me the new home for the sales price minus the referral fee it is quite unlikely they will. I guess maybe it depends on the development. If you have already have picked out a home, that is, if you already registered with the builder it is a moot point. Even if you bring an agent with you the sales office will go no sir, and turn the agent away.
