What is a measurement or floorplan service?

A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are useful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do floorplan services work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home 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, home listings, and more.

When are measurement services necessary?

Property taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your property up for sale

A floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tool to attract potential buyers because they can view the layout and details of the property before and after a walkthrough.
