What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure your house's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How does a floorplan service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the house and the overall layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more.

When should I get a floorplan service?

Disputing real estate taxes

Tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your property on the market

A floorplan service will secure a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate professionals

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise requesting a home measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, 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 a fantastic marketing tool to attract potential buyers since they can review the layout and attributes of the house before and after touring.
