What is a home measurement service?
A home measurement service provides accurate square footage calculations based on ANSI or industry-accepted standards. This is commonly used to verify property size for listing, appraisal, or tax purposes.
Why would I need a home measurement?
There are many reasons: your county records may be outdated, your agent needs verified square footage for a listing, or you’re disputing your property taxes. Precise measurements can make a real difference in property value.
Is this the same as an appraisal?
No. A home measurement is a limited-scope service that strictly determines the gross living area (GLA) and square footage of your home. It does not include a market value or appraisal opinion.
We follow ANSI® Z765-2021 standards (or local Georgia MLS guidelines where applicable), using laser tools to ensure accuracy. We account for finished vs. unfinished areas, basements, garages, and bonus rooms.
How long does the process take?
Most standard homes take 30–60 minutes onsite. The report is typically delivered within 24 hours after inspection.
Can a home measurement help lower my property taxes?
Yes. If your county is overestimating your square footage, you can submit our report as evidence during a tax appeal. This may result in a lower assessed value and reduced tax burden.
Do real estate agents use this service?
Absolutely. Many agents use our home measurement service before listing a property to ensure the MLS reflects accurate square footage. Inaccurate measurements can lead to liability or price mismatches.
Is this report legally binding?
While it’s not a legal document, it is a professional service prepared by a licensed real estate appraiser. Many clients submit our reports to tax assessors, listing agents, or attorneys.
How Much Does a Home Appraisal Cost in Atlanta?
Our appraisal fees typically range from $400 to $750+, depending on several factors:
Property type (single-family, multi-family, condo, vacant land)
Complexity of the assignment (unique homes, acreage, multiple parcels, legal conditions)
Location (inside vs. outside core Atlanta counties)
Urgency (standard 3–5 day turnaround vs. expedited same-day or 24-hour service)
Type of appraisal (divorce, estate, tax appeal, pre-listing, retrospective, etc.)
