Let Johnson Appraisal Group Public LLC be your choice for measurement services Get a quote onlineWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When is a measurement or floorplan service necessary?Property taxesTax records often 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 executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser will verify the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Selling a home or propertyA home measurement service can secure fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). Information for agentsTo ensure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we advise requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can view the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
