Let The Mountain Real Estate Company be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat are measurement services?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage of the home and the overall layout. The final product 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 should I get a measurement service?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Marketing a home or propertyA measuring service will secure fair market value for your property. Area is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since these values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). Material for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers because they can review the layout and features of the house before and after a showing.
