Let NH Real Estate Appraiser Group be your choice for home measurement or floorplan services Get a quote todayWhat are floorplan services?Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure the house's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property. How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the overall layout. The completed 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 is a home measurement or floorplan service needed?Property taxesTax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth. Marketing a listingA measurement service will secure fair market value for your home. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage). Information for real estate agentsTo make certain that your client's property closes at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and attributes of the home before and after a showing.
