Why it matters
Size is one of the biggest drivers of value. A wrong number can lead to bad pricing, disputes during a sale, or incorrect records.
Measured to the standard
I follow the ANSI Z765 standard, the same method lenders and Fannie Mae require, so everyone works from the same rules.
When you might need one
Before listing your home, settling an estate, or fixing wrong county or MLS records.
What it costs
About $200 for an average home. Larger homes may cost more.
