Ensure Accurate Square Footage with Professional Verification

Accurate Measurements. Informed Decisions.

In real estate, numbers matter—and few numbers carry more weight than your home's square footage. Whether you're planning to sell, refinance, or challenge a property tax assessment, accurate measurements are essential. Unfortunately, many properties across Utah are listed or recorded with outdated, estimated, or simply incorrect square footage. These discrepancies can impact pricing, financing, taxes, and legal outcomes.

At Irvine Appraising Company, we specialize in professional square footage verification services across Utah. Our approach is detailed, consistent, and based on nationally recognized measurement standards. When precision matters, our team is here to make sure your property is represented clearly and correctly.

Why Square Footage Often Goes Wrong

It’s not uncommon for public records to reflect incorrect square footage. Sometimes it’s due to unpermitted additions that never made it into the system. Other times, the error comes from prior listings or outdated county data. Even well-meaning real estate agents or homeowners can unintentionally misstate a home's size.

The consequences can be significant. An overstated square footage might lead to a listing price that scares away buyers. On the other hand, understated measurements can undervalue a home or affect financing. And when it comes to taxes, even small inaccuracies can add up over time.

Having a verified, unbiased measurement protects everyone involved—from the seller trying to list confidently to the buyer wanting reassurance, and from the lender underwriting a loan to the attorney navigating a divorce or estate settlement.

Our Process

We conduct a thorough on-site measurement using the ANSI standard (American National Standards Institute), which is widely accepted across lending, legal, and real estate communities. By measuring the exterior of the home and accounting for finished and unfinished spaces, we’re able to provide a detailed sketch and report that reflects the true, usable size of the property.

You’ll receive documentation that clearly outlines what was measured, how it was calculated, and how it compares to existing records. This report becomes a powerful tool—whether you're trying to support a sales price, correct public records, or back up your case in a legal proceeding.

Who We Serve

We work with homeowners who want confidence before listing their property, buyers who want to verify a home before closing, and real estate professionals who understand the value of accuracy in a competitive market. We also regularly provide square footage verification in legal contexts, such as divorce settlements, estate planning, and tax appeals. In all cases, our focus is on providing clear, supportable measurements that hold up under scrutiny.
