Are You A Good Guesser?

Are you a good guesser?

When it comes to measuring for carpet, drapes, or wallpaper, I've learned to trust the pros. Oh, I can guess about a room size and get within a foot or two, but why take a chance? The longer I'm in the business of real estate, the more I find that sellers and buyers of real estate are looking for accuracy and attention to detail.

However, if you are in a bind and need to measure something like a picture frame, piece of furniture, or an object of art, relax. You are always carrying a measuring 'stick.' It's your old buddy, George Washington - the dollar bill. Keep this in mind: a dollar bill is 6 ¼ inches long. That's about a half a foot, right? If you fold it in half, it's 3 inches the wide way, or 1 ¼ inches the narrow way. This works great for items that are a couple feet across, but please don't try measuring your house with a dollar!

Instead, call me and I'll do all the work to determine the sizes, features, and the total value of the home you're in, or the home you want to be in. Oh, you can keep your dollar, too. Just call me, when you need me.
