Get your measurement service from Montgomery Appraisers Get a quote onlineWhat are floorplan services?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 layout based on your requirements. 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 challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the general layout. The resulting report 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 measurement or floorplan service required?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless an 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 home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser assesses the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA measuring service will secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make certain that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your eye for detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers because they can see the layout and features of the home before and after touring.
