What is a measurement or floorplan service?

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

How do home measurement services work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total living area of the home 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 documentation, home listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service required?

Property taxes

Property tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent evaluation or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Marketing a home or property

A home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your house. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Material for real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise asking for a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers because they can view the layout and attributes of the home before and after a walkthrough.
