What is the likely demand for lead inspectors and risk assessors given the new lead disclosure law?

While the Federal disclosure program does not require that property owners conduct inspections or risk assessments before sales or leasing transactions, EPA expects that as more families become aware of the importance of proper management of lead-based paint in their housing, the demand for qualified evaluation professionals will increase. EPA and HUD are encouraging families to look for "lead-safe housing," not necessarily lead-based paint free housing. In that vein, the Federal government believes that risk assessments may be especially valuable services to consumers since they will help consumers make informed home maintenance decisions.
