Let Atled Enterprises LLC be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote nowWhat are floorplan services?A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the overall layout of the house. The finished report 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 should I get a measurement service?Property taxesProperty tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser assesses the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying. Selling a propertyA home measurement service will secure fair market value for your property. Area 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 home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo ensure that your client's property closes at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend asking for a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and features of the home before and after touring.
