Get a quote onlineWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the general layout of the home. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When are measurement services necessary?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Selling your homeA home measurement service can secure fair market value for your home. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For agentsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers since they can see the layout and details of the home before and after a walkthrough.
