Looking Out From the Garage

SpaceDesigner... Is that the guy that paints the DeathStar?

No. 

Actually, it is a cool tool that we have started deploying on some listings.  It allows a viewer to take furniture, re-size it and insert it into a virtual floor plan.  Spin it around, drag it from room to room... check stuff to see what hits and what fits. 

It is a normal process that people go through when they find a house they really like.

Will my furniture fit?

I've had clients that eliminated homes based on a grouping of furniture.  Perhaps they just got a new suite of furniture for the bedroom... or a new flat screen... or even a 108" Snap-On Rolling Cabinet (which costs more than some cars!).  They need a place for their prized items to fit.  Maybe there is a piece of furniture from Grandma's house.  It HAS to fit. 

That is the purpose of SpaceDesigner.  Find out what fits. 

We have it on the virtual tour.  You can try it out here.  Along the bottom there is a little icon that looks like a couple of chairs, viewed from above... ok, you can't tell that until you put your cursor over it.  But, it is there. 

The Big Picture!

Yes, there is a big picture.  We wanted to help prospective buyers feel at home.  Move in with the SpaceDesigner.  Paint and toss down some new flooring with the StyleDesigner... ok, the house doesn't need those things, but tastes may vary.  Virtual Tour.  Video Tour.  Panorama photos.  Scores of other photos.  Tons of links about schools, the community, the Home Owner's Association, the golf course, the county...  And of course there are a bunch more pictures of the house. 

Here is the home's website.  Take a look.  Get comfortable.  Kick off your shoes.  When you are ready to walk in the real front door, give me a shout.

Cool Tool for Buyers!

On our newest listing, we have really rolled out the tech.  Of course the seller gave us a great canvas, but here are a few of the cool tools we are employing:

  • Single Property Blog.  Instead of a couple of pages, or worse yet, a page, we decided to go whole hog... school info, community info, county info, house info...
  • A load of pictures.  We are approaching 200.  Why should a slice of toast on Ebay have more pictures that a 6600 sf home?
  • Video... when pictures aren't enough.
  • Virtual tour... when video isn't enough. 

And then there are a couple of nifty tools that we came across and thought they would be great to roll out on this property. 

The first is called SpaceDesigner, and I'll be talking about that on another post.Stock Dining room 

For now, let's talk about StyleDesigner.  Simply put, there are three pictures in the house that a viewer can play with.  No Photoshop.  No coding.  No problems.  Just select the area (walls, trim and floor... counters would be available in the kitchen or bath, too) and the color or surface.  Save it to your computer if you want. 

Modified Dining Room

Here is an example.  on the left is the Dining room as it lives.  I think it is a beautiful room, but maybe you need a different group pf colors and/or materials to complement your furniture... 

 

After about three minutes of playing... 

We can see that the room has a completely different look.  Probably not as good of a look... ok, not as good of a look...  But I wanted to prove the point. 

Wondering what the property would look like with hardwood floors?  A different color paint? 

Hit the tour...  or  Hit the Property Blog.  Play with it.  It's free.  No registration.  When you are ready to see the real thing, give me a call...
