Get your measurement service from Eisenhard Appraisal Service, LLC Get a quote onlineWhat are home measurement services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a home measurement service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the overall 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?Real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser verifies 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 property up for saleA floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your property, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo make certain that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we advise asking for a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the home before and after a walkthrough.
