Do you know the TRUE heated Square footage of the home you have Listed? It makes a difference! Do not rely on Courthouse Records!

If you or your clients live in Hall, Gwinnett or Forsyth Counties in GA and want a professional sketch of a home for marketing purposes we can do that for you! Samples below. You can add these to your FMLS Listings! Very professional touch!

 

 

                                                 BUILDING SKETCH

 

BUILDING SKETCH-LARGE HOME

In Georgia, The Courthouse Records are notoriously incorrect. Realtors typically report this data in their FMLS/MLS listings. This is a problem as it may be way off and it can be misleading to buyers, other Realtors and Appraisers. 

As part of our Appraisal process we must physically measure each home and determine square footage for each level of the home. We place each room where they belong, just like a typical builder's floor plan of a new home. 

How nice would it be for your Owners to have a Professional looking sketch included in their marketing material? It would be a great professional touch and put you ahead of the crowd. 

With this sketch, you can quote the most accurate heated square footage without worry or concern that the numbers you are reporting are innaccurate. 

This sketch could also be used to provide to the Appraiser for the lender when you have the home under contract! Trust me when I tell you if the Appraiser has a current sketch this will save them alot of time and they will be happy to have this for review! A HAPPY Appraiser is a good situation! This is what you call a Win/Win. 

If I live in my area, contact me for either a Pre-Listing Appraisal OR Just a Sketch of the home, we offer both Services. 

FEEL FREE TO POST TO YOUR REALTOR FRIENDS IN MY AREA. THANKS!

Michelle, My point exactly. YOU would stand out from the crowd since most Realtors are not employing this kind of information or "extra" if you will, into their marketing plan.

So many people still ask the question, what is the square footage and Realtors cannot answer as they do not want a law suit on their hands if they misquote it. Now they can say I have a professional sketch by an Appraiser who actually measured the home and here it is. Better yet, just include it as one of your uploads on FMLS and place it in the home with your other marketing material.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
