What are home measurement services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure your house's dimensions and area, then draw a basic or highly detailed floorplan. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an 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 home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home or property with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they notate the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, patios, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, property listings, and more.

When are floorplan services needed?

Real estate taxes

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

Selling your home

A home measurement service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are often estimated rather than properly measured, your listing may show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only sure method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or home measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

For agents

To make certain that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we recommend requesting a home measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a fantastic marketing tool for enticing potential buyers because they can review the layout and characteristics of the home before and after touring.
