What are measurement services?

A home measurement service is just what it sounds like: Based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure the property'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 a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do home measurement services work?

During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total square footage of the house and the general layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When should I get a measurement service?

Challenging property taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has performed a recent evaluation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that may have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser will determine an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect the actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling a property

A home floorplan service can secure a fair price for your home. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since these values are often estimated rather than accurately measured, your listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even 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 recent appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that properly reflects market value, we advise requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your thoroughness, 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 tool to attract potential buyers since they can review the layout and features of the home before and after touring.
