Get your measurement service from Appraisal Services Now, LLC Get a quote nowWhat are floorplan services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a home measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the home and the general layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more. When do I need a floorplan service?Property taxesTax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has recently performed an evaluation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before attempting to challenge what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting a property up for saleA floorplan service will secure a fair price for your home. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price for 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 reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tool to entice potential buyers since they can see the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
