When do I need a measuring service?

Real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling a listing

A measuring service can secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Information for real estate agents

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that correctly reflects market value, we advise asking for a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your eye for detail, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and features of the property before and after a tour.
