What are floorplan services?

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

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser measures your property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They might sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed floorplan showing the total area of the house and the overall layout. 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, home listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service required?

Real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong 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 own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent appraisal or measurement service on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Putting your property up for sale

A home floorplan service will secure a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the biggest factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service performed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To make certain that your client's property sells at a price that properly reflects market value, we suggest seeking a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attention to detail, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tactic for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
