Interactive Floor Plans
February 19, 2009
We are excited to offer an interactive floor plan for our clients.
You can submit a floor plan or we can draw it and when we take the photographs for your listing we take those for the interactive floor plan.
The floor plan allows a prospective buyer to virtually walk through the house, as they go through the floor plan and while in the room click on the picture arrow and see what the room looks like from that vantage point.
This is in incredible way for your buyers to get a feel for a house before they ever get there. It also leaves a lot less to the imagination they can actually feel like they are in the room. It give buyers a new experience not seen in Dallas or Austin. This is a unique service that you will want to have.
It impresses your sellers as well and tells them you have the latest in tools and technology to help attract buyers to their home.

Very few real estate agents have the equipment or skills required to do quality interior photography.
What’s required to produce high quality interior photography?
1. Digital Single Lens Reflex camera body ~ $2,000
2. Ultra wide-angle lens ~ $600 – $1,000
3. External flash lighting equipment ~$1,000
4. Photo-editing software ~$800
5. An eye for making rooms look attractive
6. Extensive practice at shooting interiors
If you’re not well equipped and experienced your marketing photos will show it and not be fully effective.
