RADON: The invisible, odorless carcinogen


Delaware Online has a great article on radon today.  I saw it and thought I would pass it along.  It is here

As agents, we find radon in a large percentage of homes in Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania.  Most people only find it when they are selling their home, after having lived with it for years.  Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and if you have it you should know now. 

A test to see if radon is present can be performed on any house at a very reasonable cost.  The benefit of not living with it is something that you and your family will benefit from immediately. 

Give us a call if you would like more information on how to go about getting a test performed.  We are here to help.

Real Estate Tip:The Listing Agent

Only approximately 2% of all listings nationwide are sold by the listing agent. When you list your house with me, I will try my best to sell it myself, but more importantly, I will simply get it sold.

Colleagues in my firm or real estate agents who are affiliated with a cooperating broker may sell my listings. This is why I work hard to maintain a reputation for being very professional and easy to work with. I make the homes I list as easy as possible for other real estate agents to preview or show to buyers.

When you select a real estate agent to market your property, you are hiring them not only for their list of prospective buyers, but for their ability to tap the lists of other people in the business. I constantly lobby among my competition, asking if they have seen my listings, getting feedback and urging them to add my listings to the short lists that they show when they have a prospective buyer.
