Square footage issue
I put a house under contract today, and I feel really good about that, but now I have the marketing issue. However, this isn't a marketing question. The county appraiser says there is 2363sqft, however I don't think it has had another survey done in, lets say, 57 years. The garage has been converted and now there is about 2700sqft of space. I should mention, I'm planning to wholesale. Comps in the area are going for about 133.33/sqft. There is also a detached 2-car garage in the back of the house.
A) Not sure how to reconcile this issue of the square footage
B) What should I tell people? Pretend I'm placing it in the market place and you were the buyer, what would you want to be told?
