Get your measurement service from A D Appraisals Services, LLC Get a quote todayWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. 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 area, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The final product 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 should I get a measurement service?Real estate taxesProperty tax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies 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 property is worth. Selling your homeA home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your property 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 previous appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For agentsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can review the layout and details of the house before and after a tour.
