Starting
immediately, homebuyers and sellers who use Homespec home Inspections for
their home inspections will have access to a Neighborhood Environmental
Report™, which provides important information on known and potential
contamination that exists on or in the vicinity of a property.
“Homespec is very excited to work with EDR to provide this valuable
service to real estate professionals, homebuyers and home sellers,” said
John Graham, owner of Homespec “While the reports often give
neighborhoods a clean bill of health, real estate professionals and
homebuyers are always much better off uncovering any potential
environmental issues up front, as opposed to retroactively addressing a
problem after a sale has been completed.”
Compiling data from federal, state, local and private databases,
Neighborhood Environmental Reports™ provide records of contamination
that could cause serious health problems as well as property devaluation.
Homes that are contaminated often show no visible signs of the dangers
they pose to residents through toxic air, water or soil problems.
Examples of contaminants the report screens for include leaking
underground storage tanks, hazardous waste sites, Superfund sites or even
in some states if a property was previously used as a methamphetamine
(“meth”) drug laboratory.
Ensuring that homebuyers are aware of these types of environmental hazards
has been identified as an important issue by several state legislatures
including Arizona, California, Connecticut and Minnesota, as the potential
effects to personal health and property value garner more attention from
local communities across the country.
“For over fifteen years, environmental information has been a part of
commercial real estate transactions. EDR created this report in response
to the growing trend of residential buyers wanting or even expecting
increasing amounts of information before making important decisions;
whether purchasing a car, making a health-related decision or investing in
a home,” said Robert Barber, CEO of EDR. “Part of this ‘due
diligence’ trend is an increasing demand for expertly prepared
environmental information.”
