The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more. When should I get a floorplan service?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has completed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a home or propertyA measuring service will secure fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo make sure that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects market value, we suggest asking for a home measurement of the property. 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 truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested because they can review the layout and characteristics of the property before and after a walkthrough.
