Lead poisoning is a serious problem that can lead to adverse health problems. In children, high levels of lead can cause damage to the brain and nervous system, behavioral and learning problems, slow growth, and hearing problems. In adults, lead poisoning can cause reproductive problems, high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorder, memory and concentration problems, and muscle and joint pain.
Lead poisoning is especially a problem in cities with older buildings. Typically, lead is present in the paint from older buildings, in the water supply, and in the environment from cars and buses. Preventing lead poisoning in large cities, where there is such widespread possibility for exposure is both difficult and expensive. Federal programs have attempted to address this problem.
Lead poisoning is also an issue that buyers and sellers need to consider. Houses that were built before 1978 probably have paint that contains lead. Federal law requires that sellers disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before selling a house. Sales contracts must include a federal form about lead-based paint in the building. Buyers will have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards and are likely to stipulate corrections.
Tanya Ruff is an excellent agent. She came recommended by a friend and I would recommend her in the future. She worked non-stop to keep me informed about the process. She took a lot of questions that I had and answered them promptly. Please let me know if I can write any more references for your company or her.Thomas & Yuan Kisio
Tanya Ruff was an absolute dream to work with and I consider her a new friend. She was very professional, honest and helpful to us during this process. We had a very bad experience in the past when trying to sell our house and Tanya made every effort to comfort us and relieve us of any fears/concerns. I hope we are here to stay, but I will definitely use and recommend Tanya in the future. Tanya (also) helped us look at a few properties and her knowledge and expertise was obvious. She helped us find our dream house we hope to live in for many years. She helped us list our house and buy a new house within 30 days of looking at the first property!! She is forever our hero and we are forever grateful!Randy & Britany Schmidt
We are very pleased and impressed by Tanya Ruff. She is efficient, offered advice only when asked, and was willing to show us a variety of properties in different locations. Tanya is extremely professional. When we needed anything done, she got it taken care of right away. She's a credit to your organization. We highly recommend her.Jeff & Jan Harris
