What is a measurement or floorplan service?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your property's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The finished report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When are floorplan services needed?

Challenging property taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser will determine the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Selling a property

A home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your property. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your eye for detail, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
