What is a measurement or floorplan service?

Floorplan services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure the house'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 an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage and the general layout of the home. The result 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?

Real estate taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser will verify the 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 listing

A home measurement service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

Material for real estate agents

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and attributes of the house before and after a tour.
