Price Per Square Foot is Misleading for Real Estate Values

Price Per Square Foot is Misleading for Real Estate Values

Are You Over Paying per square foot in Thomasville, Georgia:
Some agents are adding hundreds of square footage to their listing and then claiming "as per owner". I am assuming as a real estate agent, a professional, would address this discrepancy and not pass the buck as to they would not be responsible for the listing they represent. Here we go again with assuming, you know what they say about assumptions! Always ask your agent (a real estate professional) were did the added square footage come from. If she/him claims it came from the owner, I would ask them for documentation justifying the added square footage. Because once you buy the property it is your problem to resolve and for future resale. Remember that the listing agent of any property is working for the SELLER NOT YOU THE BUYER….. And if they are working for the buyers as well they are acting in a dual agency. Ask yourself this Question: Would you go to the same attorney performing a divorce for both husband & wife? Well this is the same thing.
