| ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS |
| Consumers preparing to buy or sell a home, as well as existing homeowners, now have the opportunity to help them protect their health and investment. P.P.I. a premier provider of home inspection services in Southern Arizona, now offers the EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report™ among its property inspection services. Developed exclusively for home buyers and sellers, the EDR Neighborhood Environmental Report™ identifies potential environmental risks such as leaking underground tanks, landfills and toxic waste sites on or near a property that may threaten a family’s health or the value of their investment.
Developed by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR), the leading national provider of environmental risk information, the comprehensive, easy to read report is being offered to meet growing demand for pre-purchase information for real estate agents, loan brokers, real estate professionals, and home-buyers and sellers in the U.S. The reports are generated from the largest collection of local, state, federal and proprietary environmental records in the U.S. and provide important information on known and potential contamination that exists on or in the vicinity of a property. P.P.I.is very excited to work with EDR to provide this valuable service to real estate professionals, home-buyers and home sellers. "While the reports most often give a property” a clean bill of health, real estate professionals and home-buyers 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. Neighborhood Environmental Reports cover the entire U.S. and 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 issues the report screens for include leaking underground storage tanks, landfills, defense sites, hazardous waste sites and Superfund sites. "For nearly 20 years, environmental information has been a part of commercial real estate transactions. EDR has now created a report for consumers in response to the growing trend of residential buyers wanting or even expecting increasing amounts of information before making important real estate decisions. |
1. Who is EDR? Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) is the nation's leading and most trusted provider of environmental risk information services for real estate transactions. With the largest collection of local, state, and federal environmental information in the U.S., it generates over 750,000 environmental risk reports a year in support of real estate transactions as well as corporate and government initiatives. Established in 1991, EDR is headquartered in Milford, Connecticut with regional offices located throughout the United States. 2. What is the benefit of a report if I'm selling my home? In most cases the EDR Report will not ?nd any signi?cant issues on a property. It can increase buyer con?dence and makes the property and surrounding neighborhood more attractive. In the event a problem is identified that is not easily rectified, disclosing the issue ahead of time will provide some liability protection for all parties involved in the transaction. 3. What is the benefit of a report if I'm buying a home? The EDR Report provides valuable information that allows a home buyer to make an informed decision and protect both his family and his investment. In most cases, the EDR Report will show "Good News!" indicating there are no issues within 300 feet (or a 6-acre circle) of the property. This information helps provide homebuyers with peace of mind when making what is likely the biggest investment of their lifetime. 4. Will an environmental report hurt my property value? In the majority of cases, reports actually increase the appeal of a property and neighborhood. 5. If I have any questions about findings in the report, who will answer them? All EDR-Certified home inspectors are fully prepared to communicate the report's findings to a buyer or seller and will provide follow up direction where necessary. 6. If the EDR report finds a concern on the property will it be serious enough to make my deal fall through? As in a home inspection, just because a problem is revealed, it does not mean that the transaction will fall apart. It may result in some further negotiations but all parties will be informed and able to take the appropriate steps to solve the issue. 7. If a significant environmental issue is found in a report, what are the next steps? Next steps vary slightly depending on the type of issue found and speci?c circumstances. For example, if there is a well on the property, a homebuyer may choose to have the water tested for possible contaminates. In most cases, acquiring additional information and explanation from the home inspector, relevant government agency, or EDR will address any concerns. The report contains contact information for the government agency responsible for reporting and monitoring contaminated sites. Whatever the situation, the EDR-Certified home inspector will help steer you in the right direction. |
