What is a measurement or floorplan service?

A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of the 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 space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How does a measurement service work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the home. 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 measurement service?

Disputing property taxes

Tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Putting a property on the market

A home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
