Pre-Listing Inspection
Why should I get a pre-listing inspection in Fort Collins?
It allows you to uncover issues before buyers do, giving you the chance to fix them or disclose them upfront to build trust.
Will a pre-listing inspection speed up the selling process?
Yes. By addressing issues early, you reduce negotiation time and avoid last-minute surprises that could delay closing.
Do I have to fix everything on the report?
No. You can choose which issues to address. Even if you don’t fix them, disclosing them upfront builds credibility with buyers.
Do you provide radon testing with pre-listing inspections?
Yes. Radon testing is available and highly recommended in Fort Collins due to high local radon levels.
Radon Testing
Is radon really a problem in Fort Collins?
Yes. Fort Collins is located in an EPA Zone 1 area with some of the highest radon potential in the country. Testing is highly recommended.
How often should I test my home for radon?
The EPA recommends testing every 2 years, or sooner if you’ve made structural changes or installed a mitigation system.
Can new homes in Fort Collins have radon issues?
Absolutely. Radon enters from the soil, so even brand-new construction can have elevated levels.
What happens if my radon levels are high?
If levels are at or above 4.0 pCi/L, a radon mitigation system is recommended to reduce exposure.
Do you combine radon testing with home inspections?
Yes. Radon testing can be added to any buyer or pre-listing inspection for complete peace of mind.
