What are measurement services?

Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the general layout of the home. The final product 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 do I need a floorplan service?

Property taxes

Tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you have! Unless a certified 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 contesting your taxes. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Selling your home

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

Material for real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we advise seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tactic to interest potential buyers since they can see the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
