Let Zion Realty Service Inc be your choice for measurement services Get a quote todayWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure the home'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 the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the overall layout of the home. 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 is a measurement or floorplan service necessary?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Putting your home up for saleA home measurement service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing might 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 number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). Material for real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic to entice potential buyers since they can review the layout and features of the property before and after a tour.
