What are floorplan services?

A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement a certified appraiser measures the property with both tape and laser. As they move around the home, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. Then, the appraiser develops a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area of the house and the overall layout. The final product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, property listings, and more.

When should I get a floorplan service?

Property 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 space than you have! Unless an appraiser has recently completed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging your taxes. An appraiser verifies an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling your home

A measuring service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Square footage is one of the most important elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are frequently estimated rather than accurately measured, your home listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA could potentially reduce the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by an appraiser (after any renovation that may have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's home closes at a price that properly reflects true market value, we recommend requesting a measurement of the property. Clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your scrupulousness, 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 fantastic marketing tactic for enticing potential buyers since they can see the layout and details of the home before and after a walkthrough.
