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 useful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a floorplan service work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the house. The completed 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 are measurement services necessary?Property taxesTax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed a valuation 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 the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Putting a property on the marketA measuring service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we recommend asking for a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, 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 enticing potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the house before and after a walkthrough.
