Get your measurement service from Bozzelli Appraisal Get a quote onlineWhat are measurement services?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure the house'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 accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the general layout. The resulting report 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 are floorplan services necessary?Disputing real estate taxesTax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser will establish 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 can secure a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's property sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend asking for a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the home before and after touring.
