Carfax for your home

Peace of mind for your home buying experience - The EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report

Most people these days have at least heard of Carfax. In fact, many of us would never consider buying a used car without first obtaining a Carfax report that shows a clean record, no accidents, and nothing else that we would need to worry about. It just makes sense to pay the small fee to gain the peace of mind in your purchase.

The Carfax for your home.

Homebuying is often the most significant purchase of our lives. Who wants to move into a house, only to find out years down the road that the soil contains high levels of lead, or that there was a previous oil spill. Well, now you might not have to. According to EDR, their company can now provide environmental home reports, not just for your yard (within 300ft. of home), but for the surrounding neighborhood also (beyond 300ft.)

Each of their reports will contain the following information:

1. Section A is information on records of known and potential environmental issues within 300 feet.
2. Section B covers records of known any potential environmental issues beyond 300 feet and out to standard search distances most commonly used by environmental professionals.
3. Section C provides information about records that lack enough data to be mapped. This results from incomplete government records, making it impossible to precisely locate these “orphan” sites.
4. Section D contains detailed descriptions of the various databases used and the differences between them. Also, it includes contact information for the relevant government or private organization that maintains the database.
