Thanks for stopping by.

January is almost done, listings are starting to pop up, we basked in some sunshine and were busy with continuing education focused on communication and the art of bringing a transaction together. It has been a good week. How was yours?

This week along with our regular features we wanted to talk about RADON Gas. Buyers and sellers usually hear about RADON in the Property Disclosure Statement - but it is a fairly new topic. So what is RADON?

Colorless and odorless, naturally occurring radon gas seeps into homes from underground. Exposure to dangerous levels of radon can be harmful to your family's health. 

Here's what you need to know:

  • Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer after smoking.
  • Radon can cause cancer in pets, too.
  • Illness from radon exposure is preventable if measures are taken to reduce high levels in the home.
  • An estimated 1 in 15 homes in the US and Canada has an elevated level of radon.
  • Any home can have a radon problem - old or new, drafty or snug, with or without a basement.

The only way to know if a home has excessive levels of radon is by testing.  Consider including that in your home inspection term.

Stay safe and talk soon
