Needing a property measured? Let us help.

Home remodeling and poor valuations on public records will affect a property's price — and its attractiveness to potential buyers. Let Jennifer Quinn Appraisals, Inc give you an accurate estimation of property dimensions to establish a fair, unbiased value when acquiring a new property, marketing a property to potential clients, or minimizing property taxes.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified 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 make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the home. The resulting 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 your home

A measurement service will secure fair market value for your house. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).
