SPAARs Community Engagement Committee received an NAR SmartGrowth Grant to host a WalkShop. Walkable Communities are popular with homebuyers because they promote connection to the community and encourage a healthy lifestyle. A WalkShop is a workshop where you can learn about Walkable Communities and then tour a neighborhood (on foot, of course!) to assess how it rates. SPAAR will be hosting a WalkShop in Saint Pauls North End community on Wednesday, April 19. The focus of the WalkShop, which will be led by a consultant from BlueZones, is safer pedestrian crossings. SPAAR has partnered with the City of Saint Paul, Police Department and Public Works Department on this project. |

ShowingTime Tip: Radon Test Appointments If you receive notification of a radon inspection scheduled through ShowingTime for a home where you are the List Agent, be sure to check any included notes. There are often important instructions that you need to pass on to your seller, such as:
If you do not notify the seller of the instructions and they are not followed, it can cause test failure, and delays in the inspection contingency time frame that could jeopardize the sale. Also note that sometimes multiple appointments are scheduled to allow for drop-off and pick-up of testing equipment. When in doubt (or any questions), take a moment to call the inspection company. |
