What are home measurement services?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. 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 space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

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

When are floorplan services required?

Real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has executed a recent appraisal or home measurement service on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to challenge what you're taxed. 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 paying more than your house is worth.

Selling a listing

A home measurement service can secure fair market value for your house. Living space is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of the property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To make sure that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attention to detail, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be an excellent marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can see the layout and characteristics of the property before and after a tour.
