Buzz words, shiny objects and the next best thing can be thrilling and cool.  Who knows what the next Buzz words will be - but they can set you apart from competition and make your listings shine. 

Sellers appreciate the marketing effort and the increasing millennial buyer market has grow up on "shiny objects".

However, let me assure you - shiny objects and cool tools work just as well and are much more posh when you don't pay extra for them.

I've been to dozens of Real Estate tradeshows in my day - however one event has eluded me.  I'm so excited to see and participate in KW Family Reunion 2011 in Anaheim CA.  However because I've never been - I need advice.

They say Family Reunion is the most amazing and yet most crazy real estate event ever. Top producing agents like New Jersey's Sue Adler and North Carolina's Ashley Wilson are there to share and learn and yet there are so many in attendance that it can be intimidating.

Those that have been tell me "its shocking to witness the emotion" and excitement KW agents have in their hearts for their company.  That energy can translate to sheer goofiness and fun, or intense debate and conversation.

What tips do I need to survive?  What are the unwritten rules or traditions?

In the past 3 years, FloorPlanOnline has created single property websites and virtual tours for almost 400 Keller Williams Agents. We are proud to announce we have partnered with KW and will have a booth at KWFR - and an amazing show special & special announcement.

So -Since we are the new guys, how will we fit in?

 

The good news, is that photos of listings are gradually getting better. Virtual tours are improving in accurately depicting a listing. Its no longer the exception to the rule for 20 plus photos to highlight a property.

However, Ive noticed an alarming hole in many listings content. (floorplans - yes, but thats another post) Quite simply - most homes don't showcase nor mention the view.

In many cases the view is THE selling point. Many listings have renovated kitchens, new carpet and a luxurious master bath.  Don't  forget the granite, whirlpool or school district, but rather focus on what a listing has that can be amazingly unique. 

Photograph and highlight the view, the surroundings and describe the vista in text as well.

This photo came from a floorplanonline virtual tour http://Floorplanonline.com/64095 in Southern California.  Your listing may not have such a backdrop - but seek its unique quality and set your listing appart.

This interview filmed on an iphone at Star Power Confrence in Nashville TN last week.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 16, 2010

FloorPlanOnline.com, the leading provider of Interactive Floor Plan Tours for real estate listings in the United States, announces a major upgrade to its virtual tour platform with the launch of FPO 2.0, a customizable virtual tour system that features floor plans and photos in dedicated property websites. As part of this upgrade, FloorPlanOnline is including a new RoomPlanner tool, which allows buyers to drag and drop furniture, rugs, and other household items onto the floor plan, at no additional cost.

The RoomPlanner tool is powered by FloorPlanner.com, a leading provider of online floorplanning tools. Future upgrades to the RoomPlanner tool will allow buyers to see the floor plan in 3D view with 3D objects, which will enhance the capability to take a "virtual walk through" of the property when combined with the other media on the FloorPlanOnline tour. It will also allow real estate agents to "virtually stage" a home as part of their FloorPlanOnline account. This future enhancement will also allow customers to edit floor plans in real-time and eventually, allow them to draw their own floor plans and add the plans to their virtual tours automatically.

"The addition of the RoomPlanner tool as been a great enhancement to our new FPO 2.0 Tour. It is interesting to see how the tool has engaged buyers - some of the designs buyers have created with the RoomPlanner tool are amazing! We have even received a phone call from a buyer who used the RoomPlanner on a home she was purchasing in another state. She loved the functionality so much, she is creating a tour for the home she is selling, " said Kris Cone, CEO of FloorPlanOnline.com. "The functionality is part of an ongoing upgrade path to make FloorPlanOnline the most comprehensive service for selling or renting real estate. And it all centers around the floor plan! Buyers want to see it, and FloorPlanOnline's goal is to provide the most comprehensive content and tools online to meet this very under-met need."

"According to independent research, buyers want to see photos first, with floor plans a close second, in terms of essential information for real estate listings. Yet, most listings today have few floor plans (not to mention interactive ones) and often, the photos have a ways to go in terms of meeting the online buyers' needs. Floor plans are hard to get, so they get ignored, and things like online videos get more hype," said Cone. "Yet, we make it pretty easy to get a high tech solution from a low tech process. We can do floor plan clean-up of existing architectural drawings, marketing brochures, or hand drawn sketches; or we can use one of our authorized service providers to visit the property to create a floor plan from scratch. With service in 49 states, we've got most of the metro areas covered with floor plan services. We can also do a self service tour anywhere in the world."

"We are excited about our new relationship with FloorPlanOnline," said Jeroen Bekkers, CEO of FloorPlanner.com. "This technology agreement is part of our licensing plan to work with key website properties around the world and enable them with the FloorPlanner tools. FloorPlanOnline obviously has a great customer base that values the services they provide to make getting a floor plan easy, and we are excited to help enhance their product offering with the RoomPlanner tool.

Their strategy is right on - one of our integrated partners in the Netherlands, Funda.nl, just had interactive floorplans overtake video's as the most popular premium feature on Funda.nl. Buyers want to see floor plans and plan their new potential home...and why not, it is the most expensive purchase decision most people make in their lives!"
