What is a measurement or floorplan service?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. 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 helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area and the general layout of the house. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more.

When are measurement services needed?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser will determine the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth.

Putting a home on the market

A measuring service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price of your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects market value, we recommend seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tool for enticing potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the property before and after touring.
