Let Point Appraisal Company be your choice for measurement services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do floorplan services work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your home or 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, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the home. The finished report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more. When do I need a floorplan service?Disputing property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has completed a recent evaluation or home 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 disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your property up for saleA measuring service can secure a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make certain that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects market value, we advise seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, 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 a wonderful marketing tactic to interest potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
