What are floorplan services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: based on your requirements, an appraiser will measure the property's dimensions and square footage, 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 sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are useful and sometimes necessary when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement service work?

During a home measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — either a tape or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser writes up a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area and the overall layout of the home. The result 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 home measurement or floorplan service required?

Property taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from many sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! 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 disputing your taxes. An appraiser will determine the accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes can reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop paying more than your house is worth.

Selling a listing

A home floorplan service can ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than properly measured, your home listing may show less square footage than it truly has!. An inaccurate size could potentially increase the price of the property as well as the number of interested buyers. The only reliable method of obtaining square footage when listing your home or property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by an appraiser (after any renovation that might have affected square footage).

Information for real estate professionals

To make sure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects market value, we advise seeking a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and potential buyers will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be confident in knowing the square footage on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A floorplan can also be a fantastic marketing tool for attracting potential buyers since they can view the layout and details of the house before and after touring.
