The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form 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 home measurement services work?During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total living area and the general layout of the home. The finished report 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 is a measurement or floorplan service needed?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Selling a propertyA home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or 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). Material for agentsTo make certain that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we recommend requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested because they can view the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
