What are home measurement services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the house, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the general layout of the house. The finished report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more.

When do I need a floorplan service?

Disputing real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser determines the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling your home

A floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's property closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tool for enticing potential buyers since they can view the layout and attributes of the home before and after a tour.
