OK, thanks for the clarification
In searching for answers, I found this thread and thought I would contribute my question to see if itâs common elsewhereâŚ
Iâm having clients question why the first floor âExterior Areaâ of a home is smaller than the second floor; itâs because the living spaces above the garage, but that shouldnât logically affect the âExterior Areaâ since, by its own definition should represent the Exterior Area of a home. Evidently, the calculation only provides the exterior measurement of the interior living space, not actually the âExterior Areaâ.
Explaining why an interior calculation is smaller than an exterior calculation is easy; trying to explain why the exterior calculation is smaller than the actual exterior of the home is almost comical to a realtor or a seller. It doesnât bode well for âaccurate measurementsâ.
If we are going to include the measurement, it should represent the measurement its name defines. It would do very well for iGUIDE to fix this as some realtors will use the exterior area calculations to list a home, but theyâre only going to do that if it makes sense.
I hope we can fix this, because Iâd love for my clients to want to run to iGUIDE for measurement and area calculations services, but they are going to have to make sense to the realtors and sellers first.
