Get your measurement service from Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure the house's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a measurement service, a certified 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 observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area of the house and the overall layout. The resulting report 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 should I get a measurement service?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Putting your property on the marketA home measurement service will secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo make certain that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, 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 a fantastic marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can review the layout and details of the property before and after touring.
