Just as ASBESTOS and LEAD BASE PAINT was a big problem in the latter 1900s, RADON has become the ASBESTOS of the 2000s. As a Realtor in Wauconda and Lake County,RADON seems to be popping up more and more in home inspection reports. The word RADON seems to strike fear in buyers and sellers of homes. 

RADON has always been here, but in recent years public awareness of it and its dangers have been heightened. It is important to learn what RADON is, its cause and the affect it has on us. There is a wealth of information on the net available to you.

If you are buying or selling a home and RADON becomes an issue, it is not the end of the world. RADON mitigation is not that expensive, and shouldn't be a cause for panic. Here is a little test I found on the net that you can take. I hope this test makes you more aware and prompts you to investigate more about RADON. It is something you should know about.

If your looking to buy or sell a home in Wauconda, Lake County, or McHenry County or if you have any real estate questions, free to give me a call.

FYI:

There is a bill, currently going through the Illinois legislature, that would mandate a separate seller's disclosure statement for Radon and mandate that buyer's agents be given an Illinois IMEA brochure about Radon.

This bill was pushed through as a joint effort by the Illinois Association of Realtors and the Illinois Home Inspectors Association (of which I an a Director).

 

Let's hope that this new bill helps to both inform the public of the realities of Radon and saves some lives.

 

Hope this helps;
