Let Neff Appraisal Services be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote onlineWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your property'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 total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the general layout of the home. The result 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 measurement or floorplan service required?Disputing real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser will determine the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your home up for saleA measuring service can secure a fair price for your home. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may show 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 potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo ensure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers because they can view the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
