Let Flores Real Estate Appraisals be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a legal 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 helpful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The completed report is a legal 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 are measurement services necessary?Real estate taxesTax records frequently reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless an appraiser has executed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating 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 assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your home on the marketA home floorplan service can secure fair market value for your property. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only guaranteed method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). Material for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise requesting a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers since they can see the layout and characteristics of the house before and after touring.
