What are floorplan services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your needs, an appraiser will measure the home's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document 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 disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

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

When are floorplan services needed?

Challenging real estate taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect inaccurate square footage because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser verifies the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Marketing a listing

A floorplan service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

Information for real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a measurement of the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and characteristics of the property before and after touring.
