The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the house. 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 documentation, home listings, and more. When are measurement services needed?Real estate taxesTax records often reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a propertyA home floorplan service will secure a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, 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 a fantastic marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and features of the home before and after a tour.
