Let REMACE, LTD. be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote onlineWhat are measurement services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area and the overall layout of the house. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more. When do I need a measurement service?Real estate taxesTax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth. Selling your homeA floorplan service will secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage). Material for real estate agentsTo make certain that your client's property sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, 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 great marketing tool to entice potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after a showing.
