Our house is up for sale. We added that we will NOT allow radon testing nor will we pay for any scam installation of a fan. If the buyer wants “radon remediation”, they can open a window after they close. I won’t let me or my property be scammed.

I am also amazed at how many real estate agents are in on it and get kickbacks from it all. One large agency, “Metro Brokers”, has as their primary home inspector a guy who runs a radon business. Their agents even install randon fans in new custom homes! Talk about a racket. We made an offer on a house of theirs but told them they would need to remove that POS and repair the home back to its original condition. It turned out that while they were busy putting in a fan in the basement they let the roof leak and ruin some walls. We pulled our interest.

“they can open a window after they close”

If I sell a house, it is as is, where is. The buyer can make any improvement he likes, once he owns it.
