Let von Rosenberg Appraisal Services, LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote onlineWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure your 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 an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a floorplan service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the house. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more. When is a home measurement or floorplan service necessary?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser assesses the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a propertyA home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make sure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after a showing.
