So, you just arrived at a listing and you forgot your measuring tape. Here’s a quick way to measure practically anything—if you to have to figure out some dimensions right now!

Quarter

      – It’s about 1” in diameter



Paper Money

      – It’s 2-1/2” by 6”. Paper can wrap around object so it also comes in handy if you have to measure small, curved items. Credit Card – It measures 2” x 3-1/2”. (Can also be used to scrape ice off car windows.)



Arms

      – The span of your outstretched arms is usually roughly equal to your height—so if you are 5’9”, by stretching your arms, measuring from the tip of your left hand to the tip of your right hand should be about 5’ 9” in length.



Feet

    - A size 10-1/2 man’s shoe is about 1 foot long. For women, size 8 is about 10 inches long. Measure by walking heel to toe.

I bet every agent can benefit from this little list of measuring tips.  I use my wingspan sometimes too, it just doesn't seem like 5'7 but I trust it.
