iGUIDE delivers measurements according to the ANSI-Z765-2021 Standard

Fannie Mae’s updated directive for home appraisals to follow ANSI-Z765-2021

Fannie Mae (The Federal National Mortgage Association) mandated that effective April 1, 2022 all home appraisals conducted in the United States will be required to use and adhere to ANSI-Z765-2021 (American National Standards Institute) measurement standard when calculating and reporting GLA (Gross Living Area) and Non-GLA areas in the residential real estate sector. This new regulation applies to all subject properties where interior and exterior inspections are mandatory and will be necessary in order to secure financing from institutions like Fannie Mae.

What Is ANSI-Z765-2021?

The ANSI-Z765-2021 is the 2021 update to the ANSI-Z765 measurement standard which was originally created in 1996 to provide definitive, industry-wide specifications and parameters to determine square footage with consistency. The ANSI-Z765 measurement standard ensures that regulated guidelines are always followed, so that alignment can be observed and delivered to all market participants.
