The Real Estate Agent is Key
A real estate transaction is a unique opportunity - your clients, whether buying or selling, are more focused on their home than at any other time.
RADON is an important factor when buying or selling a home and deciding where to prioritize spending. Realtors are key! Your clients trust your advice - and that’s why you need to be informed.
As radon awareness grows across Canada, more homeowners are beginning to ask questions about RADON, and more properties are being listed with existing radon mitigation systems. The best way to help your clients is to understand RADON - so you can answer confidently and direct them to certified professionals for further support.
Three Options for Managing RADON During a Real Estate Transaction
Option A: Test – Protect – Sell
Test the home for RADON, mitigate if required, then sell.
Advantages:
- Proactive solution
- Ensures a healthy environment for all future owners
- Provides peace of mind for the seller, knowing the RADON level is documented and addressed
Option B: Sell – Test – Protect
Sell the home first, then the new owner tests for RADON and mitigates if necessary.
Advantages:
- The new owner decides when and how to mitigate
- Ensures a healthy environment for all future occupants
- Provides peace of mind for the buyer (knowing the test was done properly)
Option C: Assessment Test
Conduct a RADON Screening Assessment as part of the real estate transaction, and then test or mitigate if required.
Advantages:
- Provides a structured process for REALTORS® and buyers
- Mitigation decisions remain based on a long-term test
- Green / Yellow / Red results offer a clear, impartial guide for all parties
Every Home Can Be Fixed
The most important message for any real estate agent to share: Your clients can confidently fall in love with their dream home - because every home can be mitigated. No matter the RADON level, once testing is complete, there are effective ways to reduce it safely and permanently.
