Let Accurate Appraisals of North Carolina be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote onlineWhat are floorplan services?A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure your property's dimensions and square footage, 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 disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do floorplan services work?During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the general layout of the house. 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 documentation, property listings, and more. When should I get a floorplan service?Real estate taxesTax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent evaluation 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 your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Selling a home or propertyA measuring service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Material for agentsTo make certain that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, 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 fantastic marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after a tour.
