Jonathan Montrose has been awarded the Home Measurement Specialist Certification (HMS®) by the Institute of Housing Technologies, LLC. The program focuses on the role of size in home comparison, valuation context, market timing strategies, and the practical use of the ANSI® measurement standard.
For listing work, that means measurement is treated as more than a quick number. It is part of the documentation package agents and clients use to compare homes, set expectations, and reduce avoidable confusion.
Scout & Aerial measurement work
Clean deliverables for real estate workflows
Measured floor plans
Laser-measured interior work prepared for listing documentation, with ANSI Z765 followed where applicable.
Listing context
Measurement notes and practical documentation help agents explain what was measured, what was excluded, and what may need independent verification.
Media-friendly timing
Measurement can be paired with photography, video, aerial work, and basic on-site prep so the listing package moves together.
Why this matters
Square footage often sits close to pricing, buyer expectations, appraisal conversations, and marketing claims. A thoughtful measurement process gives the listing team better source material and fewer loose ends.
HMS® training emphasizes how the measurement standard, price-per-square-foot thinking, and home-comparison decisions interact in real-world transactions.

Measurement services and deliverables are observational listing documentation. They are not a home inspection, appraisal, land survey, legal opinion, tax opinion, permitting document, or guarantee of value. Measurements follow NCREC rules and ANSI Z765 when applicable; clients and agents should independently verify figures when required for their own use.
