Floor Plan Sketch for Real Estate agents

With marketing times in the greater bay area on the rise listing agents are trying new things to get those houses sold quicker. Some throw in trips, day spa passes, and other freebies to buyers while some try to make their house stand out from the rest. Staging a home costs a few thousand dollars but it creates an atmosphere that is much more inviting than the home owners personal furniture.
Another marketing tool I have been giving to Realtors are my floor plan sketches. I have received much more interest in these floor plan sketches over the last few months for realtors to put in there brochures and on their websites. The floor plan sketch includes all interior walls, rooms, stairs, countertops, sinks, showers, pools, and doors. This paired with pictures of the rooms helps potential buyers remember the property better than just pictures of the house.
For websites these sketches, paired with a savvy website designer, can provide a place to click on and you will see a 360 degree view of the room. Fees for the sketching service start at $75 dollars to $200 for larger more complex houses and have a turnaround time of 2 days. They are completed using Apex Sketch software designed for appraisers and can be sent via email in .pdf or .jpg, .gif, .bmp image formats for further editing. I also include 2 revisions to better tend to the clients needs.
