If I list my house with Northeast Advantage and a Realtor from another agency brings a buyer that ends up purchasing my home, what extra fees do I need to pay out to that Realtor? Answer: Absolutely nothing.
The Listing Plan that you have with Northeast already includes
any fees due to other agencies. There are no hidden fees, what
you see is what you get! What is a CMA? A CMA (Comparitive Market Analysis) provides information of comparable sales in your neighborhood with common ammenties. It will supply you with average active, sold and pending sales in your area.
Often market conditions change and
your home could sell for more or less. Trying to see your home as
buyes do, Style, Age, Features, Size and Condition help you to understand
the value. in addition, the supply of homes if a similar style one
the market can greatly influence prices. What is Radon? Radon is a deadly natually occuring radioactive gas. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking). It is impossible to smell, see or taste. It can be accumulating in area homes undetected. This natural occurring gas seeps into surrounding homes from soil, and sometimes well water. The American Lung Association, the Surgeon General, and the EPA all recommend that homes be tested for radon.
Testing is simple and inexpensive. Easy to use test kits are available form your local American Lung Association at a competitive price of $15.00.
As a Realtor, we know that you work with buyers and sellers every single day. Talking to your clients about radon could protect their health – it could even save their life! If radon is detected in a home, it will not condemn the home, make it difficult to sell, or decrease its value. In most cases simple measures can be taken to make the correct the problem. Regardless of the radon level, a home can be made safe. A radon problem left undetected or ignored will not go away. However a radon problem that is detected and corrected will leave everyone breathing easier!
The American Lung Association has a
consumer friendly brochure that outlines the hazards of radon as
well as the simple testing process. Call: Beth Gundlach at 1-800-586-4872
