Size Matters! Measuring and Calculating Residential Square Footage
by D. Hamp Thomas--The Measure Man
Published by The Measure Man, LLC, in association with Carolina Appraisers & Real Estate, 2008, 159 pages
$24.95, softcover
Size Matters! Measuring and Calculating Residential Square Footage is not just a book about how to measure a house; it is a passionate plea for consistency in measuring and calculating square footage. D. Hamp Thomas ("The Measure Man") is a North Carolina Certified Residential Appraiser/CRS/ABR/GRI/Realtor who believes that a uniform method for measuring a single-family residence is essential for accurate appraisals and listings of homes for sale. While the focus of this book is on residential structures, his point is equally applicable to commercial properties. It is the author's goal that someday there will be one standard, that all real estate professionals agree on, to measure and calculate residential square footage.
