What are home measurement services?

Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are useful and often necessary 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 home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the overall layout. The result 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 are measurement services necessary?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Selling a home or property

A measuring service can secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

Information for real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the home before and after touring.
