Buyer Due Diligence Checklist. But DEQ’s radon coordinator found that after realtors attended the class, they began to see how their knowledge about radon could help protect their clients — and their families — from its adverse health effects. Realtors have been enthusiastic about the class and offered positive feedback about the information presented.
Estimates show that every realtor talks to at least fifty potential clients every year, which means that many thousands of people in Utah learn about radon through real-estate transactions each year.
These client conversations increase public awareness of the dangers of indoor radon, encourage homeowners to test their residences, and arm them with information to mitigate the problem.
"I have taken other radon courses before, but never a radon class that discusses radiation and the science behind radon. In addition, I also enjoyed learning about radon and lung cancer — hearing from a lung cancer survivor made the topic even more important to me, my family, and clients. I do not understand why radon is not a required test when selling and buying a home. Thanks for an excellent class — I am so glad I came.”
