Radon – When looking at Charlottesville Real Estate should I test for radon?

First of all what is radon?Radon testing

This is one of the best explanations I have read (from John Handloser at Pillar to Post):

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can't see, smell or taste. Radon is a radioactive gas.  It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils.  Its presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims about 20,000 lives annually. 

What areas have Radon?

To see what Virginia localities have potential for radon, click here to see the "EPA Map of Radon Zones".  You will see that much of the Charlottesville and surrounding areas fall in EPA Zones 1 (highest potential) and 2 (moderate potential).

What if I have Radon?

Mitigation is recommended for homes testing at a radon level of 4 pCi/L or more

for more information here is a link to the EPA site regarding Radon:

    Why I am a BUYER'S AGENT!!!

    Charlottesville client

    NOTE: When you choose an agent, please read and learn more about Agency relationship in Virginia.

    My passion is to help Buyers in the Charlottesville Real Estate market find the perfect Home, Land, Farm or Estate. I feel there is a "Conflict of Interest" when a Real Estate Agent tries to represent both the Buyer and the Seller in a transaction. As a Buyers Agent, your interests are foremost on my mind. There is no conflict of interest when you work with me! I can show and help you purchase any home listed for sale (not just my listings)!!!  

    NOTE: It is rare that an agent can represent the seller and buyer without a "conflict"

    Here is what I do for my client:

    1. Evaluate a properties advantages and disadvantages

    2. Do a full research of a properties history

    3. Show you the pro's and con's of the areas in and around Charlottesville

    4. Negotiate with the seller on price and terms

    5. Never allow a sellers interests to interfere with yours

    Note: Please remember that the "Listing Agent" works for the "Seller" of a property and must look out for their clients interests, not yours. This includes Sales offices, New Construction and all listed homes and land in Virginia

    My FEE

    You do not pay me. My fee is paid for by the seller of the property. When the seller listed their home they offered a fee to the listing agent and to the buyers agent. Often times the listing agent tries to capture both sides of the transaction (dual agency).

    My question for any agent (or client) is how can anyone represent the best interests of a Seller and a Buyer at the same time? (two masters so to speak) As a Buyers Agent, my fee is paid at the closing table by the seller. If you are looking on your own, searching the web or driving the area why not have my expert assistance and be fully represented in buying your home? 

    The Biggest Mistake in Real Estate  

    Ask me what the biggest mistake most people make in buying a home! You may be surprised at how much money the answer to this simple question will save you over your lifetime of Real Estate transactions…
