A February 2007 article from the New York Times points out that "...floor
plans reveal what photographs often do not: the proportions of rooms, the number of rooms and the traffic flows among
them." for article
Today's buyers expect not only still photographs, location information,
and virtual tours, but also a floor plan viewable online. In fact, 78 percent of buyers thought floor plans
were essential before looking at a property, according to a survey reported in the Estate Agency News.
For real estate agents, the addition of a floor plan eliminates wasted showings and therefore wasted time.
How many times does a client love the curb appeal of a home, but walk inside only to state that the layout will not work for
their family. Maximize your potential by giving buyers all the information they need to find the perfect home.
For sellers, including a floor plan sets your home apart and provides a tangible reminder of your home to the
buyer. The NY Times quotes a Florida realtor as saying "it would be easy to show a buyer between 6 and 25 homes a weekend.
After 25 homes, which are you going to remember? The ones you are holding paperwork on."
