Any appraiser who measures residential dwellings can benefit from learning about this reliable and accepted standard that should reduce common measuring errors.

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recently collaborated with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to develop a standard method for measuring single family residences. The Z765-2003 ANSI Standard should be a win-win for residential appraisers of every experience level. Using one standard can help reduce measuring errors caused by using different measuring methods and can also minimize litigation alleging measurement misrepresentations of the gross living area.

Attend this webinar and learn how some of your everyday practices could potentially lead to accidental measuring inaccuracies. Differing measurements abound in Gross Living Area figures in MLS listing forms and even among colleagues at the same appraisal firm. Get standardized today!

You'll learn:

• Key components and motivations that led to the creation of the Z765 Standard.
• Similarities and differences of current measuring methods (FHA, VA, Z765).
• Five causes of measurement inaccuracies.
• Measurement results in Z765 Format applied to real-world examples.
• Latest update status on the Z765-2012.
