Let All Pro Appraisal Services, LLC be your choice for measurement services Get a quote onlineWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your property's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures the home 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 fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. 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 documentation, home listings, and more. When do I need a measurement service?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser will verify an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your home up for saleA measuring service can secure fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price for your property, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo make certain that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, 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 an excellent marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and features of the house before and after a tour.
