Let Campbell Appraised, LLC be your choice for measurement services Get a quote onlineWhat is a measurement or floorplan service?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your house's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. 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 useful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do home measurement services work?During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the house and the overall layout. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more. When should I get a measurement service?Real estate taxesTax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you have! Unless an 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 one to perform a home measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Marketing a home or propertyA home measurement service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling 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 is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). Material for real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we advise asking for a floorplan service for 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 because they can see the layout and characteristics of the home before and after touring.
