Square footage is important when listing a property.  Agents have a duty to provide their clients with accurate information.  The North Carolina Real Estate Commission even has it’s own Square Footage Guidelines.   While Gray Scale Services is about giving you peace of mind as an agent knowing that the measurements you receive are the most accurate that you can have, we also aim to provide our clients with so much more.

Most people do not have the ability to visualize a home based off of photographs alone.  Gray Scale Services provides you with the marketing edge that allows buyers to visualize the space more easily.  Once people see a floor plan, it has a positive effect.  Potential buyers are able to see the flow of the house and how each room relates to another.  This is why we not only provide you with the pertinent square footage that you need, but we also provide you with a clean, graphically readable floor plan at the same time.  Charlotte area realtors call Alexis Gray at Grayscale Services for measuring in the Charlotte NC area.

Our online ordering ….  It’s quick and it’s easy!!

While we DO appreciate one on one connection and the value of personal service, it is sometimes hard to accomplish when you are working hard to provide a quick turnaround service. We are not always able to answer the phone while concentrating on measuring, nor are we able to reply to a text while driving from Charlotte to Rock Hill or from Cornelius to Monroe. We may miss information while answering a call, or write down important information incorrectly, thus delaying our service to you.

Once you place your order online, we will review our schedule and respond back to you by your preferred method of contact as quickly as possible. This allows us to contact you once to confirm the appointment and gain any other information that we may need, saving us and you valuable time. Gray Scale Services strives to provide you with the best possible service that we can, and the online ordering is an important component to that service.

We are grateful real estate agents in Charlotte trust us for their home measuring.

 Thank you!!! I wanted to take time to sincerely thank the many agents (Charlotte and surrounding areas) who have given Gray Scale Services the opportunity to meet their measuring needs. We truly appreciate your business and we’re grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us. Many are becoming repeat customers and that shows that we are working hard to meet your time needs and expectations.

Many agents have shared testimonials about us with their fellow agents and we are most appreciative!  They continue to express and spread the news about Gray Scale Services to their co-workers. I’m enjoying meeting and speaking with everyone and it has truly been a wonderful beginning to this new venture.  We hope to have the pleasure of doing business with you for many years to come.  Thanks again!

While having the architectural knowledge is foremost as a measuring services company, we also feel that having an understanding of real estate itself makes us more than well rounded.  We are pleased to announce that Alexis Gray has her North Carolina Broker License. We have MLS/Supra access.

We felt it was important to have an understanding of what you do on a daily basis, and understand the rules and regulations that you have to adhere to.   Knowing we have our NC Broker License adhering to the same standards of trust, care, and confidence that you do will set your mind at ease as to who you are sending to your properties.

Having MLS access a great benefit to you as it allows us access to the property without you having to spend your valuable time traveling to meet us and wait at the property while we measure.  You can spend more of your time meeting with buyers and sellers!  Call Alexis today or visit www.thinkgrayscale.com for Charlotte area professional real estate measuring.

From the NC Real Estate Commission and their Residential Square Footage Guidelines for us ….

Some sources of square footage information are by their very nature unreliable. For example, an agent should not rely on square footage information determined by the property owner or included in property tax records. An agent should also not rely on square footage information included in a listing, appraisal report or survey prepared in connection with an earlier transaction. In order to ensure accuracy of the square footage they report, even experienced agents may wish to rely upon a competent state-licensed or state-certified appraiser or another agent with greater expertise in determining square footage.

Real estate agents are expected to be able to accurately calculate the square footage of most dwellings. When reporting square footage, whether to a party to a real estate transaction, another real estate agent, or others, a real estate agent is expected to provide accurate square footage information that was compiled using these guidelines or comparable standards.”

 In order to ensure accuracy of the square footage they report, even experienced agents may wish to rely upon a competent state-licensed or state-certified appraiser or another agent with greater expertise in determining square footage.

Call Alexis Gray at Grayscale Services today to set up your next Charlotte area home measurement.

All our measurements are taken in accordance with the Residential Square Footage Guidelines issued by the North Carolina Real Estate Commission. Measurements are based on the area within the allowed perimeter of the home or condo and do not include decks, patios, garages, “open to below” areas, and areas with floor to ceiling heights below five feet.  These items can be designated however as well.  We stay up-to-date with the guidelines so that you can be assured that the product you are receiving is accurate.

Measurements are taken by hand using a laser measure and immediately input into computer software for precise accuracy on site. All square footage is also calculated in the software so that there is no need to calculate the spaces by hand. Our service is about giving you peace of mind as an agent knowing that the measurements you receive are the most accurate that you can have.

Just tell us what you need and we will handle the rest.  We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
