Let Peery Precision Capital be your choice for measurement services Get a quote todayWhat are measurement services?Floorplan 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 layout based on your needs. 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 space, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do floorplan services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the home. 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 is a home measurement or floorplan service required?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently performed an evaluation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a propertyA measuring service can secure fair market value for your house. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we advise asking for a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tool for enticing potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the house before and after a walkthrough.
