Agent and inspector toolkit
A radon failed inspection needs a decision path, not panic.
Send clients to the same sequence every time: confirm the result, price the local fix, choose repair or credit, then document the next step.
Shareable packet
1. Result meaning
Explain 2.0-3.9, 4.0+, and 8.0+ without making a home-specific medical claim.
2. Local money number
Use county cost or the seller-credit calculator before writing a repair ask.
3. Quote proof
Add anonymized quote data to improve future local benchmarks.
Explain
Result meaning
Start with test level and county evidence before talking money.
Price
Local cost path
Use ZIP to open the county action plan and foundation-adjusted range.
Negotiate
Credit calculator
Convert cost into opening ask, ceiling, or fallback.
Improve
Quote checker
Check one quote, then add an anonymized quote or seller-credit signal.
Ask
Quote checklist
Use the contractor questions before comparing quotes.
Client script
Use one script for the first call.
The goal is to lower confusion, not to replace legal, medical, or contractor advice. Keep the first conversation factual and short.
The radon result needs a structured next step. First we confirm the test setup and reading. Then we use the local county cost range to decide whether repair, seller credit, or buyer-managed mitigation is the cleanest route. If the test was questionable, we can retest, but we should still understand the likely cost before the deadline.
Copy/paste packet
Send one clean radon note, then collect one quote signal.
This is the resource-page version: short enough for an agent email, specific enough for a buyer or seller to choose the next step, and connected to local cost data.
Client-ready language
The radon result is a decision item, not a panic item. First confirm the test setup and result band. If the reading is 4.0+ pCi/L, use the local cost path before asking for repair or credit. If the quote comes back, remove personal details and add the ZIP, foundation, result band, quote status, and price to the quote ledger so future local estimates get sharper.
Before call
Collect the reading, test duration, test location, ZIP, foundation clue, and deadline.
During call
Ask whether the quote is sub-slab, sump seal, crawl-space, fan replacement, commercial, or inspection-deadline driven.
After call
Add one quote signal after the contractor call: ZIP, result band, foundation, quote status, price, and scope clue only.
Decision packet
What the client should leave with
Result
The number, test context, and whether the result is no-test, borderline, 4.0+, or high.
Range
The county cost range adjusted by foundation clue before anyone asks for an arbitrary credit.
Mechanism
Repair, closing credit, price concession, escrow, retest, or buyer-managed mitigation after closing.
Proof
A quote or seller-credit signal added to the ledger so future local estimates become less generic.
