What is a measurement or floorplan service?

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

How does a home measurement service work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser measures the home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the overall layout. The final product 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.

When should I get a floorplan service?

Challenging property taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your property up for sale

A home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Area is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attention to detail, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the property before and after a tour.
