we don't like to disclose dimensions unless it comes from an architect or a company that draws floor plans..... 

I have a Stanley FatMax that does a very nice job.

I have one yes, I think it's a stanley I got years ago as a present

No.  I do not provide measurements as I see it as a potential liability issue (if I get it wrong or they write it down wrong).  I'll provide a tape measure and let them use it.

I'm waiting for the iPhone app!

I had one many years ago.  Now I use a professional to complete floor plans for my listings.   

Dianne,

In CA there was a lawsuit on this (naturally).  Since then, the measuring of rooms has an approximately, which signifies  plus or minus 10%.  In measuring commercial property there are standards which add inches inside the wall...We left it to pros to decrease our chances of being sued.  In one instance we saw 3 different measurement results done by 3 different pros.  Personally, I would stick with a pro, or let the buyer, seller measure it themselves.  A

They all seem to work very well. Mine is so old the brand is worn off. It is very well-used! Check HD or Lowes; might be as competitively priced as online after you factor in shipping.

I do use a laser to measure - Mighty Max, and works very well.

I don't personally measure... I hire someone who measures and provides professional floor plans. Not a good use of my time.

used to, now I just eyeball it

Dianne Goode yes, I do have electronic device to measure room sizes. At times, though it ends up showing 'E' for no reason!

I do use one and got it at Lowe's around $20. Smart something. 

I do use a laser device to measure rooms, but off hand, I'm not sure the brand.

Yes...Stanley is the one I use

I like the Stanley one as well, though it's not perfect.

no

Hi Dianne - I use an infrared one that I got at Home Depot for about $20.

Stanley Fat Max is what I use.

Needing one bright enough to shin outside. Try Amazon and read the reviews.

I use a wheel based rulers $9.95 Pacific Tools. I just got a call asking for sketches that I measure for every home I am selling.  

The laser price is under $50 bucks. For $75 it will project up to 300sf  It is not required but I have a engr license to request changing sf or approve new bldgs since age 25. Right now, I clarify a lot confusion with added on and inflated sf.....

No, I do not.  I am not required to measure rooms ... thankfully.  

Yes I have one but can't read the brand anymore. Time for a new one! I admit to relying on the good ol' tape measure I carry in my car, too

Black & Decker from Home Depot.

What Carol Williams said...

No, I still use a tape measure. Our realtor store sells 2 models : Laser Dimension Master 130 for $85.00, and Pocket Dimension Master 2 for $35.00. One day I'll buy one and test it out.

We were told NOT to measure rooms as it just added another layer of liability to the agent.  We used assessor records and let the buyer come to their own conclusions.  

Looks like you have a few to choose from and also the disclaimer from Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 !

Yes I do! Have used many over the years. Currently use a Craftsman!

I have a Craftsman that does the job well. $17.

My camera does the same thing. $560

ProTools has a combo measure, moisture detection and temp in one device. $300.

Then my 2ft 6in stride double checks the gadgets. FREE. (All measures approximate. Buyer should confirm all things of material value) We all include that disclaimer right?

Yes, for my job, I use one every day, multiple times per day.  Here is one that works well and is inexpensive (around $30). This is on Amazon.  I bought the same one in Home Depot for around $50.

I haven't seen one that is accurate but they are close enough.
