About Real Estate

Posted on September 04, 2024

Agents, brokers, and developers play key roles in facilitating transactions and ensuring properties are appropriately priced, marketed, and sold. The value of real estate is influenced by factors such as location, market conditions, interest rates, and economic trends.

Radon gas – even the name sounds ominous, evoking images of radiation and nuclear devastation. Radon gas is created when uranium in the soil decays. The gas then seeps through any access point into a home. Common entry points are cracks in the foundation, poorly sealed pipes, drainage or any other loose point. Once in the home, the gas can collect in certain areas – especially basements and other low-lying, closed areas – and build up over time to dangerous levels. The Environmental Protection Agency of the US Government has set a threshold of 4 pico curies per liter as the safe level. As humans are exposed to the gas over a period of years, it can have a significant and detrimental effect.
