What are floorplan services?

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

How do measurement services work?

During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area of the house and the general layout. The finished report 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 do I need a floorplan service?

Real estate taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent valuation or measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your property is worth.

Marketing a listing

A measurement service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often approximated rather than properly measured, your home listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price for your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To ensure that your client's property closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, 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 characteristics of the property before and after a walkthrough.
