Let Creech Appraisal Inc be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document 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 necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When is a home measurement or floorplan service needed?Disputing real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently executed 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 attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser will verify an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting a home up for saleA floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce 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 recent appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects market value, we recommend asking for a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tool to attract potential buyers since they can see the layout and characteristics of the house before and after touring.
