What are home measurement services?

Home measurement services are just what they sound like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed layout based on your requirements. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove a precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do measurement services work?

During a measurement or floorplan service, an appraiser takes measurements of your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the property, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, hallways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser creates a report and detailed sketch showing the total living area and the overall layout of the home. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

When are measurement services required?

Disputing real estate taxes

Property tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from several sources, and sometimes go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more square footage than you actually own! Unless a certified appraiser has completed a recent evaluation or measurement service on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need an appraiser to perform a home measurement service before contesting your taxes. An appraiser will establish an 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 measurement service can ensure that you're paid fair market value for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers look for when purchasing a home — but since square footage values are frequently approximated rather than accurately measured, your listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it can take credit for. An inaccurate GLA not only reduces the selling price for your home, but possibly even the number of interested buyers. The only sure method of using a precise GLA when listing your property is to refer to a recent appraisal or measurement service executed by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

Information for agents

To make sure that your client's property sells at a price that accurately reflects true market value, we suggest seeking a home measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, 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 attracting potential buyers because they can see the layout and attributes of the property before and after touring.
