Learn the methods and procedures for measuring and calculating square footage in detached single-family dwellings, based upon the ANSI® Standards. This course is a collection of home measurement videos developed by Hamp Thomas, a certified residential appraiser and Realtor® with over 30 years of experience. Learn from Hamp how adhering to the ANSI® standard can protect real estate professionals, their companies, and their clients. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned pro, this course will tech you the fundamentals for measuring finished living areas based on the ANSI® Standard. Learn something today you can use at work tomorrow!
The goal of this course is to teach appraisers and real estate professionals how to better estimate “finished living area” based on the ANSI® measurement standard. From basic ranch-style homes to complex one and one-half stories, with sloped ceilings, dormers, and many unique measuring circumstances. Students will gain a better perspective on measuring residential square footage based on the ANSI Standard. Rediscover the “art” of estimating finished living areas with the ultimate home measurement guide. Better understand ANSI and Fannie Mae’s role (how and why) in the standardization of the appraisal industry.

Course Author
After working ten years as a real estate agent, Hamp moved up into the appraisal business. After only a year in the appraisal training process, the differences became clear in the way agents and appraisers viewed square footage information. The next ten years, he spent every spare minute researching MLS systems nationwide, tax records from across the country, automated valuations, and every aspect of the way square footage was used in all real estate valuations. For many, many years now, Hamp has been advocating one national language of real estate. The future of Big Data is dependant on the changes we make to square footage collection and reporting in the next few years. Only Better Data can make Big Data a viable tool for the future. Artificial intelligence is only as good as the data is uses and the real estate industry needs to reduce the over 100 names it uses for heated living area to only one name so that consumers know what they are getting and appraisers can fairly compare properties. Square footage is the currency of real estate.
