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 often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the house. The resulting report 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 is a home measurement or floorplan service needed?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA measuring service can secure fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show 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 dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the property before and after a tour.
