The class is titled through DPOR and qualifies for 2 CE or PLE Credits!

In 1985 when radon first became a faint glimmer of a blip on the radar of Real Estate, Radon-Ease tested only 1/2 of 1% of all Richmond area  homes involved in a real estate transaction. In 2018 we tested about 40% of those homes. With that growth curve Radon Will be an important subject to be well versed in in the near future, if it hasn't affected your business already.
