Get your measurement service from Trbd Inc Get a quote onlineWhat are floorplan services?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form 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 essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the home and the general layout. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When do I need a measurement service?Property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser will establish 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. Selling a propertyA floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). Material for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tactic to attract potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
