What are Property Measurement Services?

Property Measurement Services involve our appraisers meticulously measuring the dimensions and area of your property. Based on your specific needs, they create a basic or highly detailed layout of your home. The resulting report and floorplan serve as legal documents that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), representing the total livable space of your home. These services are often essential for disputing property taxes or facilitating property sales.

How Do Floorplan Services Work?

During a home measurement service, our certified appraisers employ laser measuring devices to obtain precise measurements of your property. As they tour the house, they carefully document the layout of each room, along with other features such as stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. Subsequently, they compile a detailed report and sketch that accurately depict the total living area and general layout of the house. This comprehensive report serves as a legal document that can be utilized to substantiate important property specifications, including the Gross Living Area (GLA), for purposes such as tax documents and home listings.

When Are Floorplan or Measurement Services Necessary?

Marketing/Selling A Home:

Obtaining a professional measurement service is crucial to securing a fair price for your property. Potential buyers prioritize living space when considering a home purchase. However, since these values are often estimated rather than precisely measured, your home listing might underestimate its true Gross Living Area (GLA).

An inaccurate GLA can potentially diminish both the price and the number of potential buyers for your home. The most reliable approach to accurately representing the GLA in your home listing is by referencing a previous appraisal or measurement service conducted by a certified appraiser, particularly after any remodeling that may have affected the square footage.

Challenging Property Taxes:

Tax records often contain inaccurate measurements due to varying sources and a lack of verification, resulting in potentially paying for more space than you actually own.

To challenge your property tax assessment, it is essential to have an appraiser perform a measurement service on your property. By determining the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property, you can ensure that your tax assessment reflects the actual square footage, eliminating unnecessary overpayments.

Information for Real Estate Agents:

To ensure that your clients' homes are priced accurately based on their true market value, we strongly recommend obtaining a professional measurement of the property. Thoroughness in providing precise GLA measurements will be appreciated by your clients and potential buyers. Additionally, a measurement service can serve as a powerful marketing tool, allowing potential buyers to view the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
