Topic 6 concerns Claim Home & HomeDiary

The HomeDiary platform is very unique in that we have tools for the whole lifecycle of ownership and we are the only home or virtual tour platform that includes an editable and reusable 2D/3D floor plan tool that can be used throughout the whole lifecycle of ownership, by the seller/owner, the buyer and you, the connected Home Pro.

3D FloorPlan Engine. We built our own 3D floor plan/space planner tool from the ground up to work on any device. Browsers of the tour can experiment with the floor plan and edit it on tablets as well as computers, doing things such as changing flooring or wall colors, fragging and dropping furniture, doing landscape planning, or even adding or removing walls to see what an open concept might look like. Its all temporary, but it helps them visualize the space, right from the virtual tour.

We did this because we want to extend this tool to any homeowner and any home and let the content live on through the HomeDiary integration. Once a person buys your listing, they can claim it and then get a copy of the floor plan put into their own private HomeDiary account. They can use the floor plan to manage their home, visualize home improvement ideas, and even plan their move by creating a Moving Guide (example below), where they can virtually stage the home and use the Note tool to put “post-it” notes of what boxes go in what rooms – print it out, hand it to the movers for a hassle free move.

Every 3D Walkthrough Tour or FloorPlan Tour has this capability to create a moving guide, to visualize improvement ideas, or to share the floor plan with others. So talk about this at your open houses and in your marketing. Check out our editable Canva template you can use at an open house as well to talk about the HomeDiary features, they get for free just by claiming the home (see more on this below), compliments of you.

PS, if you use this to differentiate, if people have a home to sell and like this feature, who do you think they might want to sell their home too?

Claim Home & HomeDiary for owners. Every Story (tour) has a Claim Home call to action section (which you can turn off if you do not want it), that allows the buyer (and the seller) to claim the home right from the virtual tour, and when you approve their request, we automatically copy the listing photos and floor plans, compete with the 3D Space planner, into their own private HomeDiary account. The buyer gets a great management tool for their new home, and the seller gets a keepsake of their old home, and they can use HomeDiary on their new place. You get some attribution to the content provided, but you are not their official sponsor. If you invite your seller (or buyer) to HomeDiary before they claim the home, you can be their sponsor. If you are representing the buyer on the buy side, we suggest you first invite them into HomeDiary via your HomeDiary invite link, and then have them claim the home. When they do, you will be the official sponsor of their new home!

HomeDiary PRO & Collaborative Diaries – We now have official “closing gift” options for each buyer or homeowner you work with. At the top of our the new HomeDiary PRO website are options for Stories and Diaries. Diaries is the new option – think of it as a digital closing gift on steroids.

The Diary is a collaborative Diary, meaning you can add content into your client’s home, and it is not just one time or one year, it is for the life of their ownership period for a small one time fee. You can use our web interface you see here, or your can ue your mobile phone (and our iOS app) to create the content. So the same actions you do to document your kids or pets lives (take a photo or video) can be used to document and manage your clients homes.

What can you do with the Diary? Add:

Closing Documents
Ideas & Reminders – like the HUD statement for tax time or the reminder to get that leaking hot water heater replaced in 18 months.
Before Photos – use our app at possession day and take a photo or 2 of every room so your clients have a Before Photo view of their home – it’s aways a great reference and new buyers always forget to do this.
Use our app to scan to get a floor plan – it takes about 5 minutes for 2500 sq ft and the device you already have works. Once you have a plan, they can create a moving guide (see below) to help with the move.
