Let LnL Associates, 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: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are useful and often necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How do floorplan services work?During a measurement service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the overall layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more. When is a home measurement or floorplan service required?Disputing property taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser determines the 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 a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage). For real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can review the layout and characteristics of the house before and after a walkthrough.
