How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a floorplan service, an appraiser measures your home with a measuring tool — generally a tape or laser measuring device. As they move around the house, they make note of the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, entryways, and fireplaces. They may sketch out the property. Then, the appraiser types up a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total living area and the general layout of the home. The resulting report 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.

Putting your home up for sale

A measuring service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your house. Square footage is one of the most important factors potential buyers examine when purchasing a home — but since these values are often approximated rather than accurately measured, your property listing may reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your home as well as the number of potential buyers. The only dependable method of using a precise GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any updating that may have affected square footage).
