What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of your property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do floorplan services work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the home. The finished 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 is a home measurement or floorplan service necessary?

Challenging property taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent evaluation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies 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 property is worth.

Selling a property

A home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your property, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic to entice potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the home before and after a tour.
