Get your measurement service from UNcommon Appraisor Group Get a quote nowWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document 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 necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage of the house and the overall layout. The finished product 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 are floorplan services needed?Challenging property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA floorplan service will secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). For agentsTo make certain that your client's property sells at a price that properly reflects market value, we advise seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can view the layout and details of the property before and after a tour.
