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 area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the general layout. The result 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 measurement service?Disputing real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Selling a propertyA home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly 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 the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, 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 great marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can review the layout and features of the property before and after a walkthrough.
