What are home measurement services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on your requirements, 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 total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How does a floorplan service work?

During a measurement service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and fireplaces. They might draw a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the house and the general layout. 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, home listings, and more.

When do I need a measurement service?

Challenging real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before contesting your taxes. 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.

Selling a home or property

A floorplan service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Area is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since square footage values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Material for real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's property sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we suggest requesting a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and 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 an excellent marketing tool for enticing potential buyers because they can see the layout and features of the property before and after touring.
