Let The Webb Appraisal Group, LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Home measurement 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 what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the home. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When should I get a floorplan service?Property taxesTax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your home up for saleA measuring service will secure fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise requesting a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers because they can view the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
