Ensuring Accurate Property Reporting in Real Estate

In today’s fiercely competitive real estate industry, the accurate reporting of a property’s true square footage has never been more critical. At Everest House Valuation, our Home Measurement Services provide precise and accurate property measurements for homeowners and real estate agents in Maple Grove, Plymouth, Albertville, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, and throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area.

Often, the gross living area on public records can differ significantly from the actual living space within a property. Ensuring your property’s dimensions are correctly documented through professional home measurement is crucial for various real estate transactions, including listings, sales, and renovations.

Realtor Obligations and MLS Reporting

Realtors, when entering listings into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), are required by both MLS regulations and their broker-in-charge to provide accurate and detailed summaries of the properties they represent. This mandates accurate square footage reporting for numerous reasons. Sometimes, the property may involve a complex house measuring assignment that realtors may not be comfortable conducting themselves. Inaccurate square footage reporting can lead to legal liabilities for real estate agents, making professional home measurement services essential.

Home Measurement Services and Floor Plan Re-creation Services

Our home measurement services focus on determining a property’s Gross Living Area (GLA). Accurate GLA listings are invaluable in expediting property sales and ensuring you save time and money during the process. We provide multiple digital sketches which can be included in an MLS listing.  These sketches show above-grade square footage, foundation size and basement finish. They also showcase interior room dimensions and locations of walls and doors.

At Everest House Valuation, we use digital software which measures to ANSI Z765 standards providing you with precise measurements you can trust.  Our digital sketches are easy to read and provide a critical tool for marketing your home.
