Home remodels and inaccurate valuations on public records can affect a property's price — and its attractiveness to potential buyers. Let us give you an accurate estimation of property area to determine a fair value when acquiring a property, selling to potential clients, or reducing property taxes.

During a home measurement service, a licensed appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser completes a property sketch report showing the total square footage of the home and the general layout. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

Selling a property

A home measurement service can secure a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by a licensed appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).
