The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the home and the overall layout. 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, home listings, and more. When is a measurement or floorplan service required?Disputing property taxesTax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, 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 wonderful marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the house before and after a walkthrough.
