4th of July, 2023

Happy 4th of July to our great country, and customers

To get your own virtual timelapse for your listing, just select it when you place an order.  We will deliver the video and the included virtual twilight photo with our regular tour order.  Priced at $75, it is a great value considering you get the virtual twilight image (priced at $35) as well.

Terry Wins Listings with FloorPlanOnline

We love hearing from our happy customers!

As a long time top producer, I met the owner of this company at a Realtor Trade show many years ago and immediately added FloorPlanOnline to my business plan.  At first I just used it for higher end properties, and I quickly decided to use it for ALL my residential properties. It is point and shoot, affordable and I obtain listings due to my excellent marketing presentation--which includes FloorPlanOnline data--and Clients are impressed/hire me as they also see this value. I demonstrate this value in my Zoom presentations, send past listings in email presentations, as well as in-person follow-up emails. The editable floor plans, (which every Seller and Buyer want), the professional photos/virtual tours/scans, the QR codes and their property websites ROCK!I recommend this company to any Real Estate residential professional. This company helps me win in listing competitions and helps me with future Client loyalty as they recommend me to their friends/family and use me again and again as my listings have more market activity, shorter days on market and sell for more money!  I love FloorPlanOnline!

New Platform Updates for June 2023

New Platform Updates for June 2023

We did a comprehensive development release on June 4, 2023, that added several new features and addons to the HomeDiary Story (i.e. virtual tour) platform, along with some bug fixes, including

  • Drag & drop/reposition the various content sections on the Story to your desired order (see screenshot above)
  • Add branded documents to the branded version of the Story
  • New Addon – Virtual Timelapse video
  • New Addon – Blue Skies through Windows
  • Added Pre-Shoot and Re-Shoot options under No Tour
  • Bugs & Fixes
    • Updated the Social Media video to a 9:16 aspect ratio (portrait orientation) to better fit with Instagram, TikTok and Facebook Reels. The price of this addon remains the same at $25. 
    • Bathrooms now properly account for 3/4 baths on the Hero features
    • Changed “asking” to “price” for the listing price of the property
    • Fixed co-listing display issues on the flyer editor
    • Profile display settings fixed to show correctly on tour
    • Simplified the Matterport links provided to match Matterport’s standard convention

See below for more details on some new items.

Drag & Drop Content Sections on Story 

With this new option, you can change the order of the content displayed on your virtual tour by simply dragging and dropping the content in the desired order.  Save and update, and the tour is updated.  So if you want Matterport, or the Photo Gallery to be at the top of the tour, right below the “Hero” image, you can change the layout.

You can also change the default order in your profile settings, which will apply to all future tours created. So set it once and forget it.  Check out the video on how easy it is to do.

Branded Documents

With this new tour enhancement, you can upload any kind of branded document, and as long as you mark it contains branded content, it will only show on the branded version of the virtual tour.  This is a great option to add a detailed property overview, a sales sheet about you and your brokerage, a custom property brochure and more.  Check out the video on how easy it is to do, and because we can show the branded version of the virtual tour on the top sites like Zillow with our patented Brandkeepr feature, this content will get seen more often than not as well!

Virtual Timelapse Addon

With the Virtual Timelapse addon, priced at $75, we simulate a 24 hour period at the property using just one daytime photo.  The video gets added to your slideshow video (and/or other custom videos) so you can make your content stand out further.  You also get a virtual twilight photo included as a bonus, a $35 value. Just pick the preferred location of the photo and sky for the virtual twilight photo, and we will create the video and image, then add them to your tour.  Check out some of the examples on how cool it looks.

Blue Skies Through Windows

With the Blue Skies through Windows addon, we will add a blue sky to the selected number of window views, starting with the most important view shots.  So, regardless of the day outside, we can always make it a blue sky day!  Priced at $50 for sets of up to 10 photos.  Just select how many photos you want and we will do the PhotoShop editing and deliver the images for download.

Several years ago, I was searching for a way to provide floor plans for my listings and was so fortunate to find FloorPlanOnline and incredible Ace Photographer/Market Manager Christine Cox!

They are the real deal for sure! Not only do they create stunning photos, detailed floor plans, 3D walkthroughs, drone photography and movie quality video, but they deliver everything in a "done for you" platform that is oh so easy to navigate. Each customizable website looks like you spent hours creating it, when really it is 100% plug and play. After Christine works her magic onsite, the editors work behind the scenes to develop a comprehensive digital program that is a show worthy, multifaceted marketing piece that will truly blow your clients away. And, it's done in record time- less than 48 hours! The people in customer service are equally impressive, handling requests, edits and questions in a timely manner with kindness and grace.

Owner Kris Cone has definitely created an amazing service and gathered an unbeatable team of highly creative and talented professionals around him. Additionally, they are ever evolving, adding new and relevant features that will make you shine online from start to finish and beyond. I highly recommend Christine and FloorPlanOnline. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

How many bathrooms?

How many bathrooms?

A few fixes on the property information displayed on the tour.

 

1. We have changed the term for listing price from Asking to Price as you see in the screenshot

2. You have new options to show or hide the property description on the Hero View – the initial view you see when the tour loads.  In addition, you can show or hide property info such as the price, beds, baths, etc, like you see on the screenshot.  See the video below for more on how to configure to your liking.

3. We have fixed the issue of the display of the bathrooms on the tour and on the flyers. We had an issue where 3/4 bathrooms were not being displayed correctly.  They now show up right, and you actually have two options to show bathrooms – either the total calculated, which matches how the RESO standard defines the total bathroom count, or you can input your own number for display.  For RESO, if a home has 2 full baths, 2 3/4 baths and 2 half baths, the total bathroom count = 6.  If you don’t want that, you can override it with your desired total.  See below for more.

Customize the Bath Count

property detail

RESO Standard

If you select Calculate Total, the system will calculate the total bathroom count equal the total number of bathrooms regardless of the fixture count. A bathroom is counted as a bathroom, whether it is a full, 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4 bath. This is coming straight from the RESO Standards definition and should match how things are displayed on sites like Zillow. 

Example = 5 baths

  • 2 full baths
  • 1 3/4 bath
  • 2 half baths

Your Total

With this option, you can input any total bathroom count you want to display, while still showing the detail of full, 3/4, and half baths in the details.  Just untoggle the Calculate Total button and input whatever total you want to show for Total Baths.

Example =  3.25 baths 

  • 2 full baths
  • 1 3/4 bath
  • 1 half bath
