What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

Floorplan services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How does a measurement service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed floorplan showing the total living area of the home and the general layout. The final product 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 should I get a floorplan service?

Real estate taxes

Tax records frequently reflect inaccurate area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home 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 challenging your taxes. An appraiser will establish an 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 property is worth.

Putting your property up for sale

A measurement service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your property. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To make certain that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects market value, we recommend seeking a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tactic to interest potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
