Lead Safety: What Real Estate Brokers Need to Know

2 CE (Education)

Any structure built before 1972 is at risk for containing lead paint. The prevalence of lead paint may impact a buyer's decision on whether or not to purchase a property. Sellers may have more realistic expectations regarding the sale of their property if they are aware of the implications of lead based paint that may be present on the property. Real estate agents can help to communicate the implications of lead based paint to their clients if they are better educated on the subject.

Learning objectives:

  • Define lead abatement and explain why lead-based paint is prevalent in buildings prior to 1972
  • Identify and explain the health implication of lead-based paint poisoning
  • Describe risks of performing renovations on areas afflicted with lead-based paint
  • Explain government regulations that address lead-based paint
  • Describe tests available to determine if lead-based paint is prevalent in a building
  • Communicate implications of lead-based paint to clients
