Radon and Real Estate
Radon and real estate don't have to be in conflict. Although many
homeowners, buyers, and even real estate agents seem terrified by the
word "radon," you shouldn't be so scared! Yes, it is a dangerous and
hazardous gas, but the simple truth is that radon is in EVERY home. The
lowest--and thus safest--levels of radon are in homes with radon
mitigation systems. Once a radon system is installed, the home will
have the lowest possible levels of the gas, making it safer than homes
that haven't had radon mitigation. So instead of being scared away from
buying houses that have radon, real estate agents and realtors should
encourage buyers to opt for a radon mitigation system from Radon
Solutions. Our radon systems make it easy to keep your family and house
safe from this potentially harmful gas!
At Radon Solutions, we suggest local realtors, buyers, and
sellers approach a radon reduction system just like any other component
of your home (furnaces, air conditioning, fire detectors). These
systems are in place to keep your house and family comfortable and
safe. The same goes for a radon mitigation system. And, as low cost and
long term solution, radon abatement systems are more affordable and
long-lived than just about any other system in a residence. Think of
radon mitigation as a long-term investment in the health and safety of
your home.
So, whether you're buying or selling, it makes sense to have
your building tested for radon. Radon Solutions is a great resource for
both testing and radon mitigation system installation, if necessary.
Don't let radon get in the way of connecting buyers with their dream
home--this problem can be effectively corrected! Let the pros at Radon
Solutions step in and help with one-stop solutions for testing and
mitigation. Radon shouldn't intimidate buyers, sellers, or Realtors
when you have Radon Solutions on your side!
- If you're a homeowner trying to sell your house, don't be
scared if the issue of radon comes up. Radon levels can be safely
lowered.
- If you are buying a home, a radon inspection is a must. A radon mitigation system may be necessary to keep your family safe.
- If you are a Realtor, radon testing and radon mitigation can be helpful for both buyers and sellers.
Turn what some people could see as a negative into a major selling
point for your home. We suggest that real estate agents and home
sellers add information about radon mitigation systems to their real
estate flyers and listings: this is a great way to approach the issue
as an asset rather than a liability. Radon Solutions recommends adding
something along the lines of: "Home protected with a warranted radon
reduction system: Why not protect your family with a clean, radon-free
home that will keep them healthy and happy? Air quality is crucial to
safety and health--breathe healthy in this home!"
Don't forget, radon reduction systems can also help keep
humidity levels low in a home, effectively providing moisture
management and mold prevention. Radon mitigation systems work by
trapping and venting the air from under and around your foundation or
crawlspace, exhausting moisture along with the radon and other gases.
This helps keep your basement dehumidified and dry, a key step in mold
prevention! These benefits are yet another reason real estate agents
may want to encourage clients to investigate how their home can be
helped by a radon reduction system.
