What are measurement services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: Based on what you need, an appraiser will measure your home's dimensions and square footage, then draw a basic or highly detailed layout. 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 space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the property, they observe the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed floorplan showing the total square footage of the home and the general layout. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain details about your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service required?

Challenging real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unproven — meaning you may be paying for more square footage than you own! Unless an appraiser has performed a recent valuation or home measurement service on your property (after any updating that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a measurement service before contesting your taxes. 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 paying more than your house is worth.

Selling your home

A home floorplan service will ensure that you're paid fair market value 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 frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price for your home, but possibly even the amount 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 carried out by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Information for real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's property closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we advise asking for a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a great marketing tool for getting potential buyers interested since they can review the layout and details of the home before and after touring.
