What are floorplan services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure the 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 precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total 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 the home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total square footage of the home 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, property listings, and more.

When are measurement services necessary?

Property taxes

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

Marketing a home or property

A measurement service will secure fair market value for your home. Square footage is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the price of your home as well as the number of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home or property is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service completed by a certified appraiser (after any updating that might have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To ensure that your client's property closes at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we advise requesting a floorplan service for the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be confident in knowing 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 because they can review the layout and details of the property before and after a showing.
