What are floorplan services?

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

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. 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 is a measurement or floorplan service needed?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your home up for sale

A measuring service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Area is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we suggest requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your eye for detail, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and characteristics of the house before and after a walkthrough.
