What are floorplan services?

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

How does a home measurement service work?

During a home measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They may draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the house and the general 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 floorplan services needed?

Disputing real estate taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute your taxes. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your home up for sale

A measurement service will secure 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 approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To make sure that your client's property closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we recommend requesting a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers since they can view the layout and characteristics of the property before and after a tour.
