Get your measurement service from Integrated Assets Get a quote todayWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the home and the general layout. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more. When do I need a floorplan service?Disputing real estate taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a propertyA measurement service can secure a fair price for your house. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often approximated 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 the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo make certain that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we recommend requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and details of the property before and after a tour.
