What are measurement services?

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

How does a home measurement service work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage of the house and the general 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, home listings, and more.

When are floorplan services required?

Property taxes

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

Selling a home or property

A home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Area is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your home listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a recent appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To make sure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we recommend requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attention to detail, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and characteristics of the house before and after a walkthrough.
