In need of floorplan services? Let Harmon Appraisal & Consulting, LLC help.

Home remodels and inaccurate valuations on public records will affect a property's value — and its attractiveness to potential buyers. Let our appraisers give you an accurate evaluation of property area to determine a fair, unbiased value when buying a property, marketing a property to potential clients, or minimizing property taxes.

How does a floorplan service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the house. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

Selling a home or property

A measurement service will secure a fair price for your property. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price of your property, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).
