Client Story Time! Let's Talk About Radon! - This one needs to be shared!
Tom and Jane were a young couple in search of their first home, and they had enlisted the help of Polly and Lisa, who were known for their thorough guidance.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and Jane fell in love with a charming house that was perfect for them and checked all of their boxes! They were ready to move right in with a quick closing date. They were so excited to place the offer they thought there was no need for any contingencies! Polly & Lisa advised them to take the time to have a home inspection & to conduct a Radon test. They explained the importance of these tests and also went into detail about the danger of Radon.
After conducting the test, the results were concerning – the house had elevated radon levels. Tom and Jane, shocked at the results, were assured by Polly & Lisa to stay calm. They negotiated the mitigation for the home and continued with their plans to purchase, not only saving them thousands of dollars but saved them from harm's way.
With Polly and Lisa's continued support, they moved into their new home, knowing that they had made a safe and informed choice. Tom and Jane had learned a valuable lesson about the importance of radon testing and the significance of trusted real estate agents who put their well-being first. They now enjoyed the peace of mind that came with a healthy and happy home.
DID YOU KNOW that Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. It forms naturally from the decay (breaking down) of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which are found in different amounts in soil and rock throughout the world. Radon gas in the soil and rock can move into the air. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States Nationally, the EPA estimates that about 21,000 people die each year from radon-related lung cancer.
ALSO... DID YOU KNOW that the EPA recommends you should have your home tested EVERY TWO YEARS to ensure that your home’s radon levels stay below 4.0 pCi/L.
