I took an ANSI class and was informed that all levels needed to be measured and calculated separately. The property in question has four levels, all above grade with staircases leading to all floors. Thoughts? :-)

True, unless the difference between the levels is 2 feet or less. ANSI doesn't address what happen when there are 3 levels that are 2 feet successively, although that is probably uncommon. Also, if there is grade in between levels then I presume they are then separated, however ANSI is unclear on this too.
 
What about home that are built on a slope that result in less GLA, bedroom and bathroom counts? How do you find comps and make adjustments?

The same way you did before.

If all finished similarly. All above grade. All GLA. Not sure why that would be confusing. ANSI or no ANSI
 
i have occasional done a rectangular 3 story townhouse that had every room on a different level. totally insane way to live, but someone thought it might be contemporary long ago.
before ansi i just made it 3+ stories on the drawing mentioning each level. the drawing program can't do more than 3 stories, but can show the levels. with ansi i would take the sane approach & just explain what & why i did this. in the end it's all about accurate GLA, no matter how you got it.

No it doesn't. It would be an exception from ANSI. Basement levels are always basement and GLA levels are always GLA levels.

If unclear from ANSI, Fernando Way is do what you want.
