What are measurement services?

Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure the house's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do home measurement services work?

During a home measurement service, a certified appraiser measures the home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the general layout of the house. The result 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?

Challenging property taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting a home on the market

A home floorplan service will secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's home closes at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we suggest asking for a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for 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 since they can review the layout and characteristics of the property before and after touring.
