What is a measurement or floorplan service?

A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your property's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. 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 useful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do home measurement services work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area of the house and the overall layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service needed?

Challenging real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually have! Unless an 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 an appraiser to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling your home

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

Material for agents

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attention to detail, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic to interest potential buyers since they can review the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
