What is a measurement or floorplan service?

A home measurement 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 form that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the home and the general layout. 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 do I need a floorplan service?

Disputing property taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Marketing a home or property

A home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that accurately reflects market value, we suggest asking for a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be certain 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 see the layout and details of the home before and after touring.
