The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a floorplan service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. 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 home measurement or floorplan service necessary?Disputing property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your property up for saleA home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for 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 reduces the selling price for your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). Information for agentsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can view the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
