What are home measurement services?

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

How does a measurement service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they note 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 detailed sketch showing the total area of the house and the overall layout. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When is a home measurement or floorplan service necessary?

Disputing real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Putting your home on the market

A measuring service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Information for real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we suggest asking for a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your eye for detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tool to entice potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the home before and after a walkthrough.
