The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the house. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more. When is a home measurement or floorplan service needed?Real estate taxesProperty tax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting a home on the marketA measuring service can secure a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we advise requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested because they can view the layout and characteristics of the home before and after a showing.
