In need of floorplan services? Let Ryan Laffey help.

Home remodels and inaccurate valuations on public records will affect a property's value — and its attractiveness to potential buyers. Let Ryan Laffey give you an accurate calculation of property size to establish a fair, unbiased value when purchasing a new property, marketing a property to potential clients, or reducing your property taxes.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area and the general layout of the home. The result 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.

Selling a property

A measuring service can secure a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).
