Let Verel Appraisals, LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat are floorplan services?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your house'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 sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the general layout. The result 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 should I get a floorplan service?Challenging property taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Selling a propertyA measuring service will secure fair market value for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo make sure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we advise seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for 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 an excellent marketing tool to interest potential buyers because they can view the layout and details of the home before and after a showing.
