Needing a property measured? Let Kelli Hand Appraisal Company, LLC help.

Home remodeling and poor estimates on public records can affect a property's price — and a buyer's interest in it. Let us give you a reliable measurement of property area to establish a fair value when buying a property or marketing a property to potential clients.  I measure all properties in adherence with ANSI Standard Z7625-2021.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area of the house and the general layout. 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, property listings, and more.

Putting a property on the market

A home measurement service can secure fair market value for your house. Area 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 show inaccurate Gross Living Area (GLA).  An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).
