Lenders want permits if the measured living area does not match public records as a measurement significantly larger might include non-permitted areas.
Is public records really the ultimate authority of the true living area of a home?

Times have changed in the Real Estate industry, nothing new there.
Listings are down, there is now the NAR settlement with Buyer/Broker agreements, commission confusion and a slow market with high interest rates
It’s tougher to get listings and find clients and according to NAR Surveys, 75% of sellers do not use the same agent on their next sale!
So how do you set yourself apart as a real estate agent from all of the oth...
