Radon 1 © | Realtor Radon Partnership Service. Nothing can completely inoculate brokers and agents against possible lawsuits, but this change makes it that much harder for a buyer to say, “I didn’t know I was waiving that inspection” or “Someone else must have made that mark.” Make sure sellers understand their role. Homeowners will likely get some sort of guidance for facilitating a test, such as don’t leave doors and windows open, don’t use attic fans, etc.
As a listing broker, be sure sellers understand the importance of following those instructions. If the seller does something to affect the quality of the test, it could cause serious problems later on. Remember the Seller Disclosure. Sellers are asked to disclose their knowledge of prior tests and their results. If you have any questions about radon testing, mitigation and how it can affect your deal flow call us and we’d be happy to assist.
