Let BNKP Property Solutions be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?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 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 total livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area of the home and the general layout. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more. When do I need a floorplan service?Property taxesProperty tax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent evaluation or home measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser will verify an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a home or propertyA home measurement service will secure fair market value for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated 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 the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's property sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers since they can review the layout and details of the house before and after a showing.
