Measured by a Certified Residential Appraiser

Home sizes in the tax records, and even in older MLS records are often wrong, some by hundreds of square feet. This is especially true when someone has lived in the home for a long time and has never had the home measured. Also, when renovations have been made to the property, square footage may have increased.  We even find that homes can be a different size than what the builder shows on the floor plans, and even from blueprints when last-minute changes were made.

Before you list your home for sale, get it professionally measured.

• Agents: Don’t let your deal go south by listing a home at a very different size than it actually is. While any two independent appraiser’s sketches/measurements will differ somewhat, they should be reasonably similar, and not differ by hundreds of square feet. Keep your deal together from the beginning by knowing what you’re listing, so you can price it right for the market area.
• Home Owners: If you are selling your home on your own, as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), you need confidence that your home is the size that you represent it to be. Unless you have the proper training to measure a home, this isn’t something you want to try to do on your own.
• Buyers: if you’re concerned that the home you are buying is smaller or larger than advertised, make sure to get it independently measured during your option period.

Why You Need Our Home Measuring Service

• Size Matters: The size of a home is one of the key factors buyers and sellers use when determining the value of a property.
• Maximize your profit with accurate data: If value and size are inextricably linked, you may be leaving money on the table if you list a home as being smaller than it actually is. On the flip side, if you market a home as being larger than it truly is, you may end up with an angry buyer or an appraisal that doesn’t come in at a value that will support the financing requirements of the transaction.
• Peace of Mind is Priceless: When you have the sketch and the data to back up what you represent to be the size of your home, your listing price is stronger. Stand behind the numbers for your real estate pricing with confidence and peace of mind.

When you need more than just a calculation of a home’s Gross Living Area (GLA), our home measuring service can provide a professional floorplan that showcases the home’s layout including individual room measurements and fixed furniture. The floorplan is a great visual to add to your listing. (see example)
