What are floorplan services?

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

How do floorplan services work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they move around the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and detailed sketch showing the total square footage and the overall layout of the home. The completed report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

When are floorplan services needed?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect incorrect area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has recently performed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Selling your home

A home measurement service will secure fair market value for your home. Square footage 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 properly measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price for your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using a definitive GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To make sure that your client's home sells at a price that correctly reflects market value, we advise requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will be grateful for your attentiveness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tactic to attract potential buyers because they can view the layout and attributes of the house before and after a walkthrough.
