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 sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the home and the general layout. The finished report 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?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified 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 disputing what you're taxed. 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. Putting a home on the marketA home measurement service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo make certain that your client's property closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we advise asking for a floorplan service for 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 truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tactic to entice potential buyers since they can see the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
