Why should I get my home measured before I list it?

What many homeowners aren’t aware of is the data used to determine the square footage of their home when it is time to sell is not always accurate from an appraisal standpoint.

Why should this matter to you?

The final step before closing on your home is getting an appraisal done. 

What does an appraiser do? 

An appraiser is hired by the lender to come out to the home to help determine its market value after the contract has been signed but before closing. One of the biggest factors in determining this is the square footage. What most people don’t realize is there is a single measuring standard used by most if not all lenders. This is the measurement used by your lender and is most likely very different from those in county records.  An accurate square footage when listing your home can save you time and money when you get down to the appraisal step.
