This course was created to reveal the extraordinary power of Price-Per-Square-Foot, a number that can be described as the currency of real estate. Specifically, this course will examine the methods behind price-per-square-foot as well as its influence on the home valuation process. This course also explores the public records system, automated valuation models, online CMAs, and the MLS database. We’ll examine the information used in creating CMAs and how that data influences our peers as well as consumers.
This course was also created to provide a broad review of basic techniques and procedures for measuring single-family residential dwellings based upon the ANSI® Guideline, and why every agent should understand the basics of home measurement (even if they never personally measure a house). By the end of this course, real estate professionals will have a stronger understanding of this complex topic and the ability to better explain this subject to clients. In every residential transaction, at some point and time, a home’s “size” will impact the perception of value. You’ll never look at square footage the same again!
