What is a measurement or floorplan service?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you want, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document 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 sometimes necessary when disputing 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 the property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the overall layout. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more.

When should I get a measurement service?

Real estate taxes

Tax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser assesses 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 property is worth.

Putting your property up for sale

A measurement service can secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To make sure that your client's home sells at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attention to detail, 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 wonderful marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested because they can review the layout and features of the property before and after a showing.
