Buyers want to see floor plans. It helps them to make their buying decision. Will their furniture fit ? How can the home be re-configured or extended to suit their needs? Buyers can have very specific needs at times and they will only purchase if those needs can be met. Having a floor plan helps them to see if they can add easily an ensuite or a walk in robe, add a deck, or remove walls to make rooms bigger or more open plan etc. Help the buyers to make their decision…..
Some areas of a property can be easily overlooked during an inspection. Being highlighted on a plan will help to add value to the sellers property – helping sellers to achieve the best possible price. “Oh , I didn’t notice that walk in robe, I though it was just a cupboard.”
Interstate and overseas buyers – often buy sight unseen. A floor plan is a must have to get these buyers committed to contract. Floor plans open the doors to more opportunities.
