Typically, Realtors are real good at valuing a home for sales purposes. However, if you don't have a sketch that lists your living area size from a prior appraisal than it is well worth your money to have your home measured by an Appraiser. Having an accurate square footage will help you price your home correctly, and also helps Realtors and Appraisers after the property has closed. Properties that sell are then used as comparable sales in future appraisals. Knowing the actual square footage, and separating above grade and below grade living areas is very helpful in pricing homes. For basics in home measuring see an archived blog of mine from December 8, 2008. Get your home measured and maybe you will find some additional square footage you didn't know you had.
