Tax records typically report incorrect square footage more than 60% of the time! Given that Realtors usually perform a CMA using a tax office living area, it’s great to have our real estate appraiser in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex measure each of your listings, so you have an accurate value and list price every time.
In our highly competitive and litigious real estate industry, there has never been a greater need for accurate reporting of a property’s correct living area. All too often, the gross living area reported on public records doesn’t square with the facts. More often than not, tax records report LESS square footage than a property provides.
As an agent, you don’t want to be held liable for the square footage listed in the MLS — let us take that responsibility off your shoulders!
Find every square foot
Our Home Measurement service is designed to provide our clients with an accurate and affordable solution for determining a home’s GLA (gross living area). This essential home appraisal service is helpful when estimating a proper list price. Having the correct GLA in your listing can save you time and money and help expedite your home sale!
- We can also measure the interior room dimensions for you.
- You owe it to your sellers to find every square foot of living area each listing enjoys so your sellers get top dollar — you don’t want to leave money on the table!
- You can forward our floor plans to mortgage appraisers when a buyer is found.
- Feel free to utilize our floor plan square footage in your CMA, or ask for a full appraisal where we identify the most probable selling price within a reasonable marketing time based on the correct square footage.
Since the mortgage appraiser gets a copy of every contract, you may want to incorporate our floor plan or real estate appraisal report into your contract by a special provisions reference.
When I started in real estate in 1977, top producers in our office would not reveal their secrets about how they sold more homes in less time. When I became a full-time real estate appraiser a few years later, I learned that top producers avoid “over-priced listings.” Their secret weapon is the pre-listing appraisal with correct square footage and accurate opinion of value based on market evidence.
