Let Greeson Appraisal Svc., Inc be your choice for measurement services Get a quote nowWhat are floorplan services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your property's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. 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 useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area 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 documents, property listings, and more. When are floorplan services needed?Disputing real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent valuation or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Marketing a home or propertyA floorplan service can secure fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). Information for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise seeking a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can view the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
