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 floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the house and the overall layout. The completed 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 should I get a measurement service?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser will establish 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 house is worth.

Marketing a listing

A measuring service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might 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 a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

Material for agents

To ensure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects market value, we suggest requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and details of the house before and after a showing.
