Get your measurement service from Brennan & Associates Appraisal Services Get a quote onlineWhat are floorplan services?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure the house'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 sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures the home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total area and the overall layout of the house. The final product 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 are measurement services necessary?Challenging property taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you have! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent evaluation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Selling your homeA home floorplan service can secure fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For agentsTo make certain that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool to entice potential buyers since they can see the layout and details of the home before and after a showing.
