What are measurement services?

Measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and area of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your needs. 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 useful and often necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home or property with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, hallways, and fireplaces. They may sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total area of the home and the overall layout. The finished product is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more.

When is a measurement or floorplan service needed?

Property taxes

Property tax records frequently reflect the wrong square footage because the values can come from various sources, and sometimes go unverified — which means you may be paying for more space than you have! Unless a certified appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any renovation that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a measurement service before attempting to dispute what you're taxed. An appraiser assesses 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.

Marketing a listing

A home measurement service will secure a fair price for your home. Living space 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 may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the potential selling price of your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your home is to reference a recent appraisal or home measurement service completed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For agents

To make certain that your client's property sells at a price that correctly reflects true market value, we recommend seeking a floorplan service for the property. Your clients, and especially potential buyers, will appreciate your attentiveness, and you can be certain that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tool to entice potential buyers because they can view the layout and features of the house before and after touring.
