Needing your home measured? Let us help.

Home remodels and poor valuations on public records can affect a property's price — and its attractiveness to buyers. Let Reliable Appraisal Services LLC give you an accurate calculation of property area to establish a fair, unbiased value when acquiring a new property, selling to potential clients, or minimizing property taxes.

How does a measurement service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the house and the general layout. The finished report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

Selling a listing

A measuring service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently estimated 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 price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).
