What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your house's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form 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 essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the home and the general layout. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more.

When are measurement services necessary?

Challenging real estate taxes

Tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser assesses 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 property is worth.

Marketing a home or property

A home measurement service can secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we recommend requesting a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attention to detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and characteristics of the property before and after a walkthrough.
