Let Realty Consulting Group LLC be your choice for measurement services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do floorplan services work?During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more. When is a measurement or floorplan service needed?Challenging property taxesTax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Marketing a listingA home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price for your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make sure that your client's property sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic to attract potential buyers since they can view the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
