Let NaplesAppraisers.Com be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, 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 document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house 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 documents, home listings, and more. When are measurement services needed?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Putting a home up for saleA measurement service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we suggest asking for a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can view the layout and details of the property before and after touring.
