GEORGIA does not talk about Square Footage!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Past FIABCI-USA 2008 President 105619

It is very interesting that each state has different rules in real estate.  Gerogia for instance
does not talk about Square Feet in listings.  As Realtors we can not post on our FMLS or any
marketing materials how many square feet a home has.  Square footage is simply only talked
about in appraisals and in new homes. 

When a buyer arrives from California or other states they always ask us as agents how many
square feet does the home have.  As buyer's agents we can pull the tax record and show them
what that shows but we can not discuss square footage in our multiple listing service.

Does anyone from other states relate to that?  I would love to hear your thoughts and your
experiencing from your state.
  What is different for you?

Thank you for sharing all your information.  Sincerely,  Dagmar Sands, Real Estate International, Inc.

Interesting Dagmar...

In Indiana where basements are popular - our MLS even goes to the point of differentiating between finished and unfinished square feet LOL - when in rome - do as the romans I guess :)
