San Francisco
Square footage records do not match
When living-area figures conflict across tax records, old listings, and the physical home.
In San Francisco, dense-city houses, flats, and small multi-unit buildings leave timing and documentation problems that combine neighborhood market history with conversions, incomplete records, and missing photos. Square footage records do not match is one of the timing and documentation situations that regularly shows up in estate work here.
Square-footage mismatches often involve lower levels, garages, or rear additions; living-area treatment must be defined.
For this San Francisco situation, share tax records, old listings, and floor plans if available; living-area treatment will follow a defined approach for the intended use.
Living-area conflicts are a documentation problem before they are a value argument. James addresses them inside a defined assignment approach rather than averaging incompatible figures.
James provides independent residential appraisal for appropriate retrospective and current assignments. He does not provide legal, tax, title, or estate-administration advice; effective dates and intended use should be confirmed with the attorney, CPA, and other Core 4 professionals.
