Let Dillon Appraisal Services, LLC. be your choice for measurement services Get a quote nowWhat are home measurement services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement service work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the house and the overall layout. The finished product 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 home measurement or floorplan service needed?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling your homeA home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might reflect 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 interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). For agentsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we suggest requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, 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 a wonderful marketing tool to attract potential buyers since they can see the layout and characteristics of the property before and after a walkthrough.
