Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can pose a serious health risk if it becomes trapped under your house. Radon typically enters the home via underground crawl spaces, sump pumps, gaps in the basement and even the water supply. It can pollute your indoor air with its toxic vapors, and is held responsible for more than 20,000 lung-disease-related deaths every year. Radon is assumed to be present in millions of American homes.

How do you detect the presence of radon gas, and how can you reduce its presence and influence if it is found in your home? First, have your home tested by a professional. Many contractors are licensed or certified by state and/or local agencies. They will conduct diagnostic testing to determine if radon gas is at acceptable levels. If levels are dangerous, the contractor can install a radon reduction system. Ask the contractor for references documenting the results of past work in other homes. Make sure the company checks the house after the system is installed, to verify that it is reducing the radon levels.

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2004 and I have spent the past 6 years dedicated to the realms of real estate, specializing in regular and military relocation. My husband currently works for the army as a firefighter, but was previously enlisted, resulting in my experience in relocation. I feel that I have been directly led to this chapter of real estate due to my experiences and skill set. Being involved in relocations personally has given me a thorough understanding of the process as well as allowed me to really connect with the emotions and concerns clients may be experiencing. I've been there. I can easily step into a clients' shoes to really relate with their needs having been the client so many times in the past. Moving is hard, especially when you have a family to uproot. Working with a relocation specialist that has a vast knowledge with the areas they cover is very important. That's why I make sure to be prepared for any questions my clients may have. I am trilingual in English, German and Turkish, allowing me to work with a wider range of clients and I love it. Being able to experience different cultures and values held by clients is a definite perk for me. Knowing that I am able to have a positive impact on someone's moving experience actually means a lot to me, because I've been there. I've experience those ups and downs, those potential worries that sometimes appear. Moving can be stressful, because aside from the packing and organizing, you're leaving what's familiar to you. As a relocation specialist, I will come to the table with full confidence and knowledge to enable me to provide assistance. I strive to be the best that I can be and to leave my clients happy and comfortable. Let me show you what a relocation done right is like. Moving can be overwhelming to begin with; I want to make the difference.
