Let Trinity Real Estate Service Partners LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote onlineWhat is a home measurement or floorplan service?Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure the house's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How do measurement services work?During a measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The result 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 are measurement services needed?Disputing property taxesTax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Putting a property up for saleA measurement service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the biggest factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price for your property, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). For real estate professionalsTo ensure that your client's property sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend asking for a floorplan service for 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 floorplan can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can review the layout and features of the property before and after touring.
