Let C & V Appraisal Service, LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat are home measurement services?A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and area, 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 space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more. When are floorplan services required?Challenging property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before attempting to challenge what you're taxed. An appraiser will verify the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA measurement service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make certain that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise seeking a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, 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 a great marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can see the layout and details of the home before and after touring.
