Home Seller & Pre-Listing Radon Testing

- Listing agents recommending pre-listing testing to their clients
- Owners of homes with a previously installed mitigation system who want a current reading

What to expect: pre-listing timeline
Before the test
- We confirm the right test type for your situation and coordinate with your listing agent if you have one.
- You receive plain-language instructions for closed-house conditions.
During the test
- The device is placed in a suitable lower-level location for 48–96 hours.
- You continue to live normally as long as closed-house conditions are maintained.
After the test
- You receive a written report with the reading and interpretation.
- If low, that is documentation you can carry into the listing period. If elevated, we help you think through retesting, mitigation, and disclosure options.
Frequently asked questions
Pre-listing testing gives you documented information on your own timeline. A low result is a positive disclosure. An elevated result gives you time to plan before you are under contract.
