Selling Your Home in West U? Why Getting a SMARTePLAN Helps.

February 9th, 2012


If you are a home owner getting ready to put your home onto the market in West University, use a Realtor® who uses SMARTePLANS® to give yourself every market advantage. Below is a comparision of the First Floor between a typical floor plan (like those used by builders) and a SMARTePLAN.  Which one do you think is going to showcase your property better to potential buyers?

Comparison between floor plan and SMARTePLAN

Before I even embed up to 14 photogrqphs into the drawing ... just compare the two drawings of the first floor. Do you think people would be interested in THE PROPERTY and what it looks like --- not just where all the walls are in the house? It's the same house... it took me about 45 minutes to erase all the SMARTePLAN features that make SMARTePLANS unique and different from every other floor plan you've ever seen.

That should be a good clue --- if it takes me almost 45 minutes to ERASE FEATURES from the SMARTePLAN and dumb-it-down to make it a typical floor plan --- what sort of representation are you getting? Seriously?

The patented SMARTePLAN marketing system is designed to make your home STAND OUT ... it differentiates your property --- showing the whole property---  from other West U homes on the market! It highlights the features and finishes IN YOUR HOME that buyers WANT to see ... compare the two versions and which one does a better job?

SMARTePLANs are patented online floor plan pictorials that upload onto MLS and become part of the property information available to potential buyers on the MLS 24/7. 

The detailed pictorial with embedded photographs showcases your properties' features and finishes to interested buyers ... and for 8 years in a row.. have helped sell homes faster (less Days on Market) and for a higher price (Over 20% sold above list price in 2011).

The PDF file enlarges to 6400%, so no detail is too small. The photos get embedded into the drawing and the whole package uploads onto MLS and sells homes much, much faster. 

Does this really work? Ask Michele Scheffer, an agent with Greenwood King who sold a home in West U for $1M+ to a man in London who bought the home before he ever saw it in person ... via the SMARTePLAN.  You can read about that here and also see the same floor plan that prompted this man to make his buying decision from London. Or ask her about the home she had with 4 offers BEFORE IT GOT ON THE MARKET -- BEFORE IT HAD AN MLS NUMBER! Yep.... It wasn't even on MLS yet, but she DID have the SMARTePLAN she could email to interested buyers!!!

If you are getting ready to put your West U home on the market in Houston ... give yourself every edge, every advantage. Realtors decide what tools they use to market your property, and they pay for those tools --- this is not a cost to the home seller. When it comes time for you to choose a Realtor, Choose a Realtor who uses SMARTePLANS to market their properties -- ensure your property gets every marketing advantage it needs.

Thanks for Stopping By,

================
SMARTePLANS® have photos embedded inside the floor plan that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room).  All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions.  This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not. You can see samples at
www.smarteplans.com

[NOTE: SMARTePLANS® are PDF files so they magnify to over 100%. When the file launches, click "View" on the top toolbar and make sure there is a checkmark next to the toolbar named "Select and Zoom". Every time you tap the plus key inside the circle the view screen enlarges (the minus key shrinks the magnification); and the magnifying glass with the plus sign in it marquee selects a specfic area of the drawings to be enlarged. Using the hand key and the scroll bars, its easy to move around inside the file, and then magnifying the features you want to see.]
