What are home measurement services?

A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do floorplan services work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the house. 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 documentation, home listings, and more.

When do I need a floorplan service?

Challenging property taxes

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

Selling a property

A measurement service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Area is one of the biggest factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To make sure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we suggest asking for a home measurement of the property. 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 a wonderful marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can view the layout and features of the property before and after a tour.
