I had often wondered why anytime I ask an agent what the square footage was, they always add in the word approximately. Thanks for a great post.

Indeed, when we put square footage on MLS data or advertising- we are wide open to a lawsuit. I heard it started from a lawsuit in Atlanta. A Buyer was told the square footage and it was off by inches. It's a shame we live in such a litigious society. If I am really pushed to get the square footage, I used "approximate"- or "as per tax records" or "as per seller/builder/house plans." It's good to let readers know the reason we don't include square footage- They probably think it's laziness on our part. Doesn't occur to them that it's for protection. Have a great day!
