What are measurement services?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure your house'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 an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement service work?

During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures the property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they notate 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 general layout of the house. The result 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 should I get a floorplan service?

Property taxes

Property tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be taxed for more space than you own! Unless an appraiser has recently performed an evaluation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will verify the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your home on the market

A home measurement service will secure a fair price for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the price of the home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we advise asking for a floorplan service for the property. 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 enticing potential buyers since they can review the layout and attributes of the house before and after a walkthrough.
