Let Vanali Associates Inc be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. 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 useful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the home. The result 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 should I get a measurement service?Property taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging 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 overpaying. Selling your homeA measuring service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. 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 accurately measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). Information for real estate professionalsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and 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 measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can review the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
