What are floorplan services?

A home measurement service is just what it sounds 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 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 home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage 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 documents, property listings, and more.

When are measurement services necessary?

Property taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before attempting to challenge your taxes. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling your home

A measuring service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage).

For agents

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we advise requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attention to detail, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
