Real Estate Marketing & Beyond
Crafting the perfect real estate lifting is as much an art as it is a science. You need attractive photographs of the property and a description that ticks all the right boxes. It’s also incredibly useful to have additional information like a floor plan to help prospective buyers visualize the space. This last addition can be difficult to come by, or at least it might have been in the past – today, new real estate technology solutions like the one from Finland-based CubiCasa are changing the game for the better.
A company that offers mobile scanning technology similar to MatterPort and its ability to generate virtual walkthroughs, CubiCasa is a true game-changer when it comes to creating floor plans quickly, easily, and without costing you an arm and a leg. The best part is that you don’t even need specialized camera equipment – CubiCasa is designed to work with dozens of different Android and iOS-based mobile devices.
All you need to do is download the CubiCasa app, turn all the lights on in the property you’re scanning, open all the doors, and begin taking videos. You don’t have to get the whole property, either – just tilt your mobile device towards the floor and walk around the entire property. Then, within 24 hours, you’ll get a fully finished, professional floor plan. Not only that, but the first scan is free.
It might seem like adding a floor plan might be superfluous, as you can simply let your photographs do the talking for you when it comes to attracting prospective buyers. Yet the truth is that a solid, accurate floor plan helps house hunters determine if the dimensions of the home they’re looking at will be ideal for their own furniture and help them plan layouts.
In fact, the National Association of Realtors says that including a floor plan was in the top three most wanted features for MLS listings in 2021, even though only 10 to 15 percent of listings included them at the time. This means that generating a floor plan through CubiCasa or related services is going to help with the visibility of your listings, which could mean the difference between a quick sale or having the property stay on the market for months.
Lightweight and fast mobile apps like CubiCasa make creating floor plans for your properties a breeze. No longer will you need to take painstaking measurements of each room of a house and then have those measurements transcribed to a drawn floor plan – now it’s simply tap and go.
