In need of measurement services? Let Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030 help.

Home remodeling and inaccurate estimates on public records will affect a property's value — and a buyer's interest in it. Let Wilson Appraisal (402) 475-3030 give you a reliable measurement of property area to determine a fair, unbiased value when buying a new property, marketing a property to potential clients, or minimizing your property taxes.

How does a home measurement service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area and the overall layout of the home. 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, home listings, and more.

Putting a property up for sale

A home measurement service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).
