- Who It’s For: Specifically developed for real estate agents, home inspectors, and buyers/sellers involved in time-sensitive transactions.

- Green Level: Indicates a low probability of exceeding 200 Bq/m³; typically requires no immediate intervention before closing, but follow-up long-term testing is recommended.
- Yellow/Red Levels: Indicators of higher radon potential; these results signal that mitigation costs should be factored into negotiations and professional follow-up is necessary.
