Why More Realtors Are Choosing iGUIDE — And Why You Should Too

iGUIDE 3D Tours, Floor Plans, and Measurements

If you’re still manually measuring homes or relying on city assessment data to determine square footage, you’re putting yourself at risk — plain and simple.

Here’s the truth: inaccurate square footage is one of the leading causes of lawsuits against realtors in Winnipeg. Whether it’s relying on outdated architectural plans or estimating on-site with a laser measure, even small errors can lead to costly legal trouble.

Accuracy That Protects You

With iGUIDE, you get industry-leading measurement accuracy — typically within 0.5%. That’s not just impressive; it’s defensible. Every iGUIDE scan includes:

• Precise square footage and room-by-room measurements

• Detailed floor plans formatted for MLS

• A GLA report (Gross Living Area) to support appraisals and marketing

These numbers aren’t estimates — they’re based on laser data captured on-site, which means you get data you can trust, every time.

Lawsuits Are Happening — But They’re Avoidable

In Manitoba, there’s currently no standard measurement protocol like there is in Alberta or British Columbia, where RMS (Residential Measurement Standard) guidelines are mandatory. In those provinces, nearly every listing uses iGUIDE or a comparable technology to ensure compliance and protect the agent.

It’s only a matter of time before this becomes the norm here too — and until then, why take the risk?
