What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

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

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed sketch showing the total area and the general layout of the house. 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 documentation, home listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service required?

Challenging real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth.

Marketing a listing

A home measurement service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Square footage is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your 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 refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Material for real estate agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we advise requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool for attracting potential buyers because they can see the layout and details of the property before and after a tour.
