Get a quote todayWhat are measurement services?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your house's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the house. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more. When are measurement services necessary?Disputing real estate taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Putting your property up for saleA measuring service can secure fair market value for your house. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers since they can see the layout and characteristics of the home before and after a tour.
