Why work with a Team that offers a 
Home Measurement Specialist? 

CMA, BPO, AVM? I just want to know the fair value of my home. "Too many real estate agents don’t measure homes any longer and when they create a value for you, they base it on the square footage in tax records. Guess what? The square footage in tax records is wrong more than it is right. It’s not their job to measure precise square footage. It’s based on a “guestimate” and that’s not a word you want to hear when calculating the value on your largest, lifetime investment. The HMS® trained professionals are the most highly trained square footage professionals in the industry. When you want it measured right, call an HMS®."

Message from the Broker: As a North Carolina agent, this is a requirement for the agent - not the tax records, not the client, and not the appraiser. In Virginia, this is not the obligation of the agent. We offer it as a superior service. - Rica J. Gilmore
