Get your measurement service from Bianca Dulfer, LLC Get a quote onlineWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. 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 space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area of the home and the general layout. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more. When should I get a measurement service?Real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser will verify an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting a property up for saleA measurement service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo make certain that your client's property closes at a price that correctly reflects market value, we advise requesting a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, 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 tool to entice potential buyers because they can view the layout and details of the home before and after a walkthrough.
