Let Wrightway Appraisal Service be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total area of the house and the general layout. The completed 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 is a measurement or floorplan service needed?Challenging real estate taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation 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 dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA measuring service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your eye for detail, 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 great marketing tool to entice potential buyers because they can view the layout and characteristics of the house before and after a showing.
