What are floorplan services?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a measurement service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area and the general layout of the home. The result 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?

Property taxes

Property tax records often reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling a home or property

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

For agents

To make certain that your client's home closes at a price that accurately reflects market value, we recommend requesting a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, 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 tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and characteristics of the house before and after a showing.
