What are floorplan services?

A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of the property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage 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 do I need a floorplan service?

Property taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently completed 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 disputing what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Marketing a listing

A home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your home. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or home measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Information for real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend asking for a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be confident in knowing the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested because they can see the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
