HomeDiary.com is a homeowner management platform created by the people behind FloorPlanOnline.com.   HomeDiary allows the great content created to sell the home to be taken over by the buyer via the Claim Home button, and used as a tool before and as the new buyers live in their home!  HomeDiary also comes with other free tools built in, including Timeline (allows users to document home related activities – the Who Did What, Where, When and for How Much), Inventory (allows owners to create a digital record of their spaces for insurance purposes), Ideas (kind of like a private Pinterest where photos and links can be saved to spaces), 3D Spaces (leverages our 3D floor plan tool to allow any home to have an HGTV-like 3D floor plan tool, and Reminders (keep track and on schedule with those home related tasks).  We are also working on an iOS app to leverage some of the cool technology Apple has created with their ARKit developer tools and simplify the home documentation process.

No other virtual tour system has this functionality, not to mention the floor plan oriented tools that go along with it. As an agent with a HomeDiary PRO account, you will get branded and unbranded virtual tours for all of your listings, and you also get FREE sponsorship placement on the buyer’s HomeDiary as a courtesy for you providing the floor plan, if they claim the home via the branded tour.  Plus, you can invite your client base for free and get sponsorship on all of their HomeDiaries, so now you will be seen each time someone uses HomeDiary to manage their home. If you have 5,000 people in your database, invite them!  It is all included in the subscription fee.

HomeDiary is a great way to keep in touch with your sphere of influence in a relevant home-related site. Plus, it can give you a reason to reach out to your clients on best practices of how people should be managing their home, like documenting what is in their home for insurance purposes!  According to our research, around 75% of homeowners have NO system to document what is in their home.  The other 25% typically took photos and either keep them on their phone or in a safe.  Well if disaster strikes and your clients lose everything (think of all the fires, tornados and hurricanes recently), how are they going to build a list of what was in their house if everything is gone?   Help your clients help themselves and give them the gift of HomeDiary.  It doesn’t cost you anything more beyond the subscription fee, and it is always free to them, even if you cancel!

There are no costs to use the Lite Tour.  That is completely free, however, the Lite Tour does have a limited feature set.  See our Features for what is included in the various plans. If you become a subscriber, there is either the annual or monthly subscription fee (which is discounted for TAR members).  This allows you to create unlimited tours and unlocks many more features, like the ability to draw floor plans at no extra cost and invite all of your clients in your database to HomeDiary, which is then sponsored by you!  You can upload floor plan images in jpeg format and use “as is” for free – drag and drop photos and create interactive floor plans within a few minutes. We also have other ways to add floor plans:

• Draw FloorPlans – Now FREE! Includes 3D views and snapshots and virtual staging tools
• FloorPlan Clean-up – upload your sketches, architectural plans or even appraiser sketches and we can clean it up to create a great marketing floor plan.  Pricing is $30 for up to 5,000 sq ft!
• FloorPlan Creation – we visit the property and create the floor plan for you, onsite!  Pricing starts at $139 for 1000 sq ft.

Why add a floor plan?  First, buyers want to see them!  According to the most recent NAR research report of buyers, 55% of buyers thought floorplans were “VERY USEFUL” in their search process, and well over 80% (per discussions with NAR research staff) thought they were at least useful in their online search process.  If you were prequalifying homes, wouldn’t you want to know the bedroom and bathroom layouts?   Second, HomeDiary,  Buyers can claim their home right for the tour and take over the cool content created to sell the home, including the 2D and 3D floor plan and listing photos!  They new buyer can use the 3D Designer to plan their furniture placement, change flooring or wall colors virtually, or even experiment with what removing a wall might look like, all virtually!  According to our research, buyers view these features as very helpful content to help them start managing their home!

We have a robust order management system where you can create tours, draw floor plans for listings and edit the photo and video sequence, transitions and more.  You can even use our flyer creator to customize flyers that match your colors and branding.  Then upload the flyer to xpressdocs and have it printed right to your door.  You can see all of your tours in one account. Need a company account?  We can convert your account to a company account, which allows you a global view and admin presence for all accounts in your brokerage or company.  You can create sub accounts for agents and place and manage tours, all within one account.  Each agent gets their own account, branded with their photo, logo and contact info.  We can even set it to where the company pays for all services, or a hybrid method, where we bill the company for the base subscription fee, and agents pay for all upgrades.  Contact Sales to discuss options.

We have several options for paid accounts:

1. Upload a plan image you have and use as is for no additional fee.
2. Use our drawing tool to draw the plan online.  NOW FREE!  The tool allows you to upload a background image and trace over it.  This is a great self service option as you can save a lot of money if you get a marketing brochure or an appraiser’s sketch and do it yourself.
3. Upload a sketch or architectural plan, appraisers sketch or more and we can clean it up for you – just $30

Please view our help video library to get you started drawing floor plans.  If you work with builders/new home construction, or appraisers, these are great sources to use for tracing a new 3D floor plan.  You can even use a Matterport tour to create a 2D and 3D floorplan, which unlike the one Matterport provides, is a complete 3D model complete that allows people to drag and drop furniture, change flooring or wall colors and of course, the Claim Home to HomeDiary when they buy it.  Sellers can also claim it and have a keep sake of their old home, all in their HomeDiary account!
