What are floorplan services?

A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How does a measurement service work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total living area of the house and the overall layout. The result 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 needed?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you have! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before contesting what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling a listing

A home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers consider when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases 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 reference a recent appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately 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 confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers since they can review the layout and characteristics of the property before and after touring.
