Let Rocky Mountain Appraisal Group, LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat are floorplan services?Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure the home's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a measurement service work?During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more. When should I get a floorplan service?Challenging property taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed an evaluation 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 assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting your property on the marketA measurement service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo make certain that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be confident in knowing 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 since they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
