The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area and the overall 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 documentation, home listings, and more. When do I need a measurement service?Property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Selling your homeA floorplan service will secure fair market value for your home. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). Information for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest asking for a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attention to detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can review the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
