Something Every Buyer in GA Wants

What has every Buyer I've worked with since 1994 wanted (besides a good deal)? That's easy - Square footage provided on the listing!!

In the past, the multiple list services in Georgia did not allow ANY reference to square footage on listings. This policy was due to past lawsuits that involved discrepanies in the square footage number advertised in the mls and the actual square footage. So, long ago, the policy was set: Restrict any reference to square footage. And believe me, they did. We weren't even allowed to use a reference like: Nearly 3000 SF, almost 3000 SF, over 3000 SF...you get the picture. And, buyers from all over the country hated it!!

That was then. This is now. First Multiple List Service has finally kicked through all the legal mumbo jumbo and will now allow agents to advertise square footage on the listing. We will just need to reference the source of the number, like tax record, appraisal, etc. Finally!!!
