Have You Heard About our Home Measuring Service?
Home Owners and Realtors – avoid litigation and be certain of the size of the home prior to listing.
- Realtors: If you frequently list homes in areas where the homes are older, have been modified, or are larger, you may not be able to get an accurate square footage measurement from your usual sources (previous listings of the property, or from the Tax Appraisal District). Even if you’re listing a newer builder home, the diagram and measurements provided by the builder may not be accurate.
- Home Owners: If you are selling your home on your own, as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), you need to be certain that your home is the size that you represent it to be.
Why should you care if your listed size of a home is accurate?
- Size Matters: The size of a home is one of the key factors buyers and sellers use when determining the value of a property.
- Money Might be Left on the Table: If value and size are inextricably linked, you may be leaving money on the table for your client 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 KNOW the size of your listing, your CMA and your guidance to your seller for pricing are stronger. Stand behind the numbers for your real estate pricing recommendations with confidence and peace of mind.
When you need more than just a calculation of a home’s Gross Living Area (GLA), our measuring service can provide a more detailed representation of a home’s layout. You can now have detailed, color floor plans of all of your listings to include with your marketing materials. Our Floor Plans from our on-site sketches show accurate square footage of all interior spaces along with major room dimensions.
