When selling a home, there are countless details to manage, but one key element often gets overlooked: floor plans. As a real estate professional, I can't emphasize enough how crucial accurate floor plans are—not just for you as the seller, but for me as your agent.
Here’s why floor plans matter and how they can set your home apart in a competitive market.
Accurate Measurements Protect Everyone
One of the most significant advantages of having precise floor plans is that it eliminates potential liability. When we advertise your home on MLS, the last thing we want is to mislead buyers with inaccurate or outdated information.
Unfortunately, it’s all too common for Realtors to copy and paste details from old listings, assuming the measurements were correct. This can lead to mistakes that may deter buyers or even cause legal complications. That’s why my team takes this extra step seriously.
We partner with a professional company to laser-measure every inch of your home. This ensures accuracy and results in a detailed 2D rendering of each room. With these floor plans in hand, we can confidently market your home, knowing that all the information we provide is precise.
Stand Out on MLS
In today’s competitive market, details can make all the difference. Including floor plans in your MLS listing gives buyers a clear understanding of your home before they even step inside.
Think about it: before attending a showing, potential buyers can see the exact layout and dimensions of each room. They can assess whether their furniture will fit and envision how they’d live in the space. This upfront knowledge can be the deciding factor that makes your home stand out compared to others that lack this level of detail.
A Valuable Tool During Showings
Floor plans aren’t just helpful online—they’re invaluable during and after showings as well.
For example, a buyer might walk through your home and leave unsure if their bed, couch, or crib will fit in a specific room. Instead of leaving it to memory (or second-guessing themselves), they can refer to the floor plan, which is included in the feature sheet we provide.
This allows them to go home, measure their furniture, and confidently decide if your home is the right fit (literally). It removes uncertainty and keeps your property top of mind as they compare options.
Why Floor Plans Are a Win-Win
For you, the seller, offering floor plans is a strategic advantage. It provides transparency, builds buyer confidence, and ensures your home is represented as accurately as possible. For buyers, it’s a practical tool that simplifies their decision-making process.
At the end of the day, this small step can attract more serious buyers, reduce back-and-forth questions, and even secure offers faster.
