With the real estate market low and people out of work because of the disastrous economy, selling a house has become more challenging than ever. At the same time, many buyers prefer to search online, before actually visiting a home, and real estate agents have come to understand, that if a picture is worth a thousand words then, an interactive floor plan is worth a million. By taking a virtual tour of any home, the buyer will no longer be forced to keep guessing regarding certain aspects of the home. More information will ultimately prove to be more convincing than less. A house listing that has an interactive floor plan attached is obviously more attractive to buyers, which in turn will enormously increase the likelihood of a potential buyer visiting the house.

Customers often eliminate potential houses just because they are not able to imagine what they look like based on a simple description. Sure, it helps to attach a few photos in order to show the house, but it is complicated to add pieces and see them as a whole. This is why videos of houses, which are for sale, have more and more often been uploaded in order to help customers gain more insight. However, an interactive map and floor plan can offer a client so much more. While a video can give a positive overall feeling of the house it does not give the potential customer the opportunity to take control of the experience, revisits rooms or see the entire layout. The combination of photography with floor plans gives potential buyers the illusion of actually being in the home, being able to go inside, upstairs or get the view from a room and have control over the experience each step of the way.


While the video cannot offer the potential buyer the possibility of jumping from one scene to the other, the interactive floor plan does just that assisted by a so called navigation map. The manner in which one can navigate within an interactive floor plan is pretty easy. By moving the mouse over, different locations in the floor plan one can view rooms, read attached text, view attached maps, display photos, or even watch attached videos.

There are many companies offering interactive floor plan creation services. If a realtor has the necessary funds for such an investment and is in need of a more complex floor plan, then this would be money well spent. However if, a realtor would like to offer potential customers the experience of an interactive floor plan, but does not dispose of the necessary funds, then one can turn to free online tools, (such as floorplanner.com) in order to create a simpler floor plan free of charge.

The online real estate business is showing considerable potential for the future, with more and more customers shopping for their dream home online. This is why many realtors have seen it fit to invest in interactive floor plans, in order to differentiate themselves from the crowd, and offer their potential customers a pleasant experience. A colorful listing will make potential buyers want to look at it, as it will stand out from the rest. Once they look at it, interest is awoken and the next step- visiting the actual house- will naturally follow.


The latest improvement to online property marketing is photos loaded into an interactive floorplan.
